<p class="has-drop-cap">UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) has reported its <a aria-label="first quarter 2024 results (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240416450656/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">first quarter 2024 results</a>, showcasing a significant growth trajectory despite facing challenges such as the cyberattack on Change Healthcare. The company’s revenues reached $99.8 billion, marking a substantial increase of nearly $8 billion year-over-year.</p>
<p>This growth was fueled by a robust expansion in the number of people served at both Optum and UnitedHealthcare, alongside consistent medical care activity. Despite the cyberattack’s impacts totaling $0.74 per share, UnitedHealth Group demonstrated resilience, providing over $6 billion in advance funding and interest-free loans to support care providers in need.</p>

<p>The first quarter’s performance was also characterized by a net loss of $1.53 per share, primarily due to the currency effects of the previously reported Brazil sale and the cyberattack. <br><br>However, adjusted earnings stood at $6.91 per share, incorporating the business disruption impacts but excluding the direct response costs and Brazil sales. The company’s efforts to swiftly and effectively address the cyberattack’s ramifications, coupled with its commitment to supporting impacted healthcare providers, underscore the robustness of its operational and financial management strategies.</p>
<p>Compared to the expectations set for the quarter, UnitedHealth Group’s performance has been noteworthy. Analysts had projected earnings per share (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a>) of $6.62 and revenue of $99.26 billion. The results surpassed these expectations, with the company achieving an EPS of $6.91 and revenue of $99.8 billion.</p>
