158、nefits consist of variable annuity reinsurance contracts in Other Operations.These liabilities arise under annuities and riders toannuities written by ceding companies that guarantee the benefit received at death and,for a subset of policies,also provide contractholders the option,within30 days of a
159、 policy anniversary after the appropriate waiting period,to elect minimum income payments.The Companys capital market risk exposure onvariable annuity reinsurance contracts arises when the reinsured guaranteed minimum benefit exceeds the contractholders account value in the relatedunderlying mutual
160、funds at the time the insurance benefit is payable under the respective contract.The Company receives and pays premium periodically basedon the terms of the reinsurance agreements.Market risk benefits activity was as follows:Six Months Ended June 30,(Dollars in millions)20242023Balance,beginning of

166、acquisition and disposition transactions when the underwriting company is not being acquired.Reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability.Therefore,reinsured liabilities must continue to be reported along with the related reinsurancerecoverables.The Company regularly evaluates t
167、he financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of its credit risk.A.Reinsurance RecoverablesThe majority of the Companys reinsurance recoverables resulted from acquisition and disposition transactions in which the underwriting company was notacquired.The Company bears the risk
168、of loss if its reinsurers and retrocessionaires do not meet or are unable to meet their reinsurance obligations to theCompany.The Company reviews its reinsurance arrangements and establishes reserves against the recoverables primarily for expected credit losses.The Companys reinsurance recoverables

213、charges on debt securities.Net realizedinvestment losses for the six months ended June 30,2024 were primarily driven by the impairment of equity securities in 2024.25Note 12 Fair Value MeasurementsThe Company carries certain financial instruments at fair value in the financial statements including d
214、ebt securities,certain equity securities,short-terminvestments and derivatives.Other financial instruments are measured at fair value only under certain conditions,such as when impaired or when there areobservable price changes for equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.Fair value
215、 is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date.Aliabilitys fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a market participant,not the amount that would be paid to sett
216、le theliability with the creditor.The Companys financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified based upon a hierarchy defined by GAAP.The hierarchy gives thehighest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
217、 liabilities(Level 1)and the lowest ranking tofair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs(Level 3).An assets or a liabilitys classification is based on the lowest levelof input that is significant to its measurement.For example,a financial asset or liability carrie
218、d at fair value would be classified in Level 3 if unobservableinputs were significant to the instruments fair value,even though the measurement may be derived using inputs that are both observable(Levels 1 and 2)andunobservable(Level 3).For a description of the policies,methods and assumptions that
219、are used to estimate fair value and determine the fair value hierarchy for each class of financialinstruments,see Note 13 in the Companys 2023 Form 10-K.A.Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Carried at Fair ValueThe following table provides information about the Companys financial assets and

236、mpanys best estimate of what a market participant would use todetermine a current transaction price,become more or less significant to the fair value measurement.Market activity typically decreases during periods ofeconomic uncertainty and this decrease in activity reduces the availability of market
237、 observable data.As a result,the level of unobservable judgment that mustbe applied to the pricing of certain instruments increases and is typically observed through the widening of liquidity spreads.Transfers between Level 2 andLevel 3 during 2024 and 202327primarily reflected changes in liquidity
238、estimates for certain private placement issuers across several sectors.See discussion under Quantitative Informationabout Unobservable Inputs above for more information.Separate AccountsThe investment income and fair value gains and losses of Separate account assets generally accrue directly to the
239、contractholders and,together with theirdeposits and withdrawals,are excluded from the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows.The separate account activity for the sixmonths ended June 30,2024 and 2023 was primarily driven by changes in the market values of the underlying separate

243、e account assets classified in Level 3 primarily support the Companys pension plans and include certain newly-issued,privately-placed,complex orilliquid securities that are priced using methods discussed above,as well as commercial mortgage loans.Activity,including transfers into and out of Level 3,
244、was not material for the three and six months ended June 30,2024 or 2023.Separate account investments in securities partnerships,real estate,real estate funds and hedge funds are generally valued based on the separate accountsownership share of the equity of the investee(NAV as a practical expedient

271、ve tax rate for the three months ended June 30,2024 was lower than the 19.9%rate for the three months ended June 30,2023,primarily as aresult of decreases in state taxes following a favorable state audit resolution.The 31.5%effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30,2024 was higherthan the
272、19.2%rate for the six months ended June 30,2023 largely driven by an increase for a valuation allowance relative to the impairment of equitysecurities,partially offset by decreases in state taxes and a decrease relative to the businesses held for sale.30As of June 30,2024,we had approximately$689 mi
273、llion in deferred tax assets(DTAs)associated with the impairment of equity securities,as well asunrealized investment losses that are partially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.A valuation allowance of$422 million,established in the sixmonths ended June 30,2024,drove the higher effec
274、tive tax rate and was almost entirely related to the impairment of equity securities discussed in Note 11.Forthe remainder of the DTAs,we have determined that a valuation allowance is not currently required based on the Companys ability to carry back losses andour ability and intent to hold certain
275、securities until recovery.We continue to monitor and evaluate the need for any additional valuation allowance.Note 16 Contingencies and Other MattersThe Company,through its subsidiaries,is contingently liable for various guarantees provided in the ordinary course of business.A.Financial Guarantees:R
276、etiree and Life Insurance BenefitsThe Company guarantees that separate account assets will be sufficient to pay certain life insurance or retiree benefits.For the majority of these benefits,thesponsoring employers are primarily responsible for ensuring that assets are sufficient to pay these benefit
277、s and are required to maintain assets that exceed acertain percentage of benefit obligations.If employers fail to do so,the Company or an affiliate of the buyer of the retirement benefits business has the right toredirect the management of the related assets to provide for benefit payments.As of Jun
278、e 30,2024,employers maintained assets that generally exceeded thebenefit obligations under these arrangements of approximately$410 million.An additional liability is established if management believes that the Companywill be required to make payments under the guarantees;there were no additional lia
279、bilities required for these guarantees,net of reinsurance,as of June 30,2024.Separate account assets supporting these guarantees are classified in Levels 1 and 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy.The Company does not expect that these financial guarantees will have a material effect on the Companys c
280、onsolidated results of operations,liquidity orfinancial condition.B.Certain Other GuaranteesThe Company had indemnification obligations as of June 30,2024 in connection with acquisition and disposition transactions.These indemnificationobligations are triggered by the breach of representations or co
281、venants provided by the Company,such as representations for the presentation of financialstatements,filing of tax returns,compliance with laws or regulations or identification of outstanding litigation.These obligations are typically subject tovarious time limitations,defined by the contract or by o
282、peration of law,such as statutes of limitation.In some cases,the maximum potential amount due issubject to contractual limitations based on a stated dollar amount or a percentage of the transaction purchase price,while in other cases limitations are notspecified or applicable.The Company does not be
283、lieve that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under these obligations because notall amounts due under these indemnification obligations are subject to limitation.There were no recorded liabilities for these indemnification obligations as ofJune 30,2024.C.Guaranty Fund Asse
284、ssmentsThe Company operates in a regulatory environment that may require its participation in assessments under state insurance guaranty association laws.TheCompanys exposure to assessments for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants is based on its share
285、of businesswritten in the relevant jurisdictions.There were no material charges or credits resulting from existing or new guaranty fund assessments for the six months ended June 30,2024.D.Legal and Regulatory MattersThe Company is routinely involved in numerous claims,lawsuits,regulatory inquiries a
286、nd audits,government investigations,including under the federal FalseClaims Act and state false claims acts initiated by a government investigating body or by a qui tam relators filing of a complaint under court seal,and otherlegal matters arising,for the most part,in the ordinary course of managing
287、 a global health services business.Additionally,the Company has received and iscooperating with subpoenas or similar processes from various governmental agencies requesting information,all arising in the normal course of its business.Disputed tax matters arising from audits by the Internal Revenue S
288、ervice or other state and foreign jurisdictions,including those resulting in litigation,areaccounted for under GAAP guidance for uncertain tax positions.Pending litigation and legal or regulatory matters that the Company has identified with a reasonably possible material loss and certain other mater
289、ial litigationmatters are described below.For those matters that the Company has identified with a reasonably possible material loss,the Company provides disclosure inthe aggregate of accruals and range of loss,or a statement that such information31cannot be estimated.The Companys accrual for the ma
290、tter discussed below under Litigation Matters is not material.Due to numerous uncertain factorspresented in this case,it is not possible to estimate an aggregate range of loss(if any)for this matter at this time.In light of the uncertainties involved in thismatter,there is no assurance that its ulti
291、mate resolution will not exceed the amount currently accrued by the Company.An adverse outcome in this matter couldbe material to the Companys results of operations,financial condition or liquidity for any particular period.The outcomes of lawsuits are inherentlyunpredictable and we may be unsuccess
292、ful in this ongoing litigation matter or any future claims or litigation.Litigation MattersExpress Scripts Litigation with Elevance.In March 2016,Elevance filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkalleging various breach of contract claims against Expre
293、ss Scripts relating to the parties rights and obligations under the periodic pricing review section of thepharmacy benefit management agreement between the parties including allegations that Express Scripts failed to negotiate new pricing concessions in goodfaith,as well as various alleged service i
294、ssues.Elevance also requested that the court enter declaratory judgment that Express Scripts is required to provideElevance competitive benchmark pricing,that Elevance can terminate the agreement and that Express Scripts is required to provide Elevance with post-termination services at competitive b
295、enchmark pricing for one year following any termination by Elevance.Elevance claimed it is entitled to$13 billion inadditional pricing concessions over the remaining term of the agreement,as well as$1.8 billion for one year following any contract termination by Elevanceand$150 million damages for se
296、rvice issues(Elevances Allegations).On April 19,2016,in response to Elevances complaint,Express Scripts filed itsanswer denying Elevances Allegations in their entirety and asserting affirmative defenses and counterclaims against Elevance.The court subsequently grantedElevances motion to dismiss two
297、of six counts of Express Scripts amended counterclaims.Express Scripts filed its Motion for Summary Judgment on August27,2021.Elevance completed filing of its Response to Express Scripts Motion for Summary Judgment on October 16,2021.Express Scripts filed its Reply inSupport of its Motion for Summar
298、y Judgment on November 19,2021.On March 31,2022,the court granted summary judgment in favor of Express Scripts onall of Elevances pricing claims for damages totaling$14.8 billion and on most of Elevances claims relating to service issues.Elevances only remainingservice claims relate to the review or
299、 processing of prior authorizations,with alleged damages over$100 million.On November 1,2023,the parties signed asettlement agreement pursuant to which Express Scripts agreed to resolve the service-related claims.The settlement agreement is not an admission of liabilityor fault by Express Scripts,th
300、e Company or its subsidiaries.Following the settlement,Elevance retained the right to appeal the pricing-related claims that werepreviously dismissed by the court and Express Scripts retained the ability to reassert its own pricing-related claims in the event any appeal by Elevance issuccessful.Elev
301、ance filed its Notice of Appeal of its pricing-related claims on December 12,2023.Elevance filed its opening appellate brief on April 24,2024.Express Scripts filed its answering appellate brief on July 24,2024.Note 17 Segment InformationSee Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a descr
302、iption of our segments.A description of our basis for reporting segment operating results isoutlined below.Intersegment revenues primarily reflect pharmacy and care services transactions between the Evernorth Health Services and Cigna Healthcaresegments.The Company uses pre-tax adjusted income(loss)
303、from operations and adjusted revenues as its principal financial measures of segment operatingperformance because management believes these metrics best reflect the underlying results of business operations and permit analysis of trends in underlyingrevenue,expenses and profitability.We define pre-t
304、ax adjusted income(loss)from operations as income(loss)before income taxes excluding pre-tax income(loss)attributable to noncontrolling interests,net realized investment results,amortization of acquired intangible assets and special items.The Cigna Groupsshare of certain realized investment results
305、of its joint ventures reported in the Cigna Healthcare segment using the equity method of accounting are alsoexcluded.Special items are matters that management believes are not representative of the underlying results of operations due to their nature or size.Adjustedincome(loss)from operations is m
306、easured on an after-tax basis for consolidated results and on a pre-tax basis for segment results.The Company defines adjusted revenues as total revenues excluding the following adjustments:special items and The Cigna Groups share of certain realizedinvestment results of its joint ventures reported
