In support of our traditional strengths
as well as this enhanced vision for the
future, we pioneered innovative wellness
programs that have the potential to
measurably improve the health of our
10.3 million medical and 7.2 million
specialty members as well as the general
public. We also pointed the way toward
practical solutions to some of society’s
most pressing health care conundrums
– childhood obesity, the lack of
electronic connectivity among doctors
and patients, and out-of-control health
spending – through results-oriented
programs that displayed the spirit of
renewal and resourcefulness that has
characterized our fi rm since its founding
almost 50 years ago.
For 2009, company revenues increased
by 7 percent, to $30.96 billion, from
$28.95 billion in 2008. Earnings per
diluted common share for 2009 of
$6.15 increased substantially from
the $3.83 per diluted common share
we earned in 2008.
Despite a fragile economy and a volatile political
environment, Humana completed a successful
2009 highlighted by solid revenues and earnings
growth. We extended our leadership in consumer
health benefi ts even as we expanded our horizons
to embrace an invigorating new dream – to help
people achieve lifelong well-being.
