UnitedHealth projects 2025 operating cash flow below estimates

MINNETONKA, MN – UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), a diversified health care company, has provided financial targets for 2025 ahead of its annual Investor Conference scheduled for Sunday.

The company forecasts significant growth over the next few years, with revenue projections ranging from $450 billion to $455 billion.

The company’s guidance also includes net earnings expectations, which are set to be between $28.15 and $28.65 per share, and adjusted net earnings, which exclude certain expenses, anticipated to be between $29.50 and $30.00 per share.

These adjusted figures do not take into account the after-tax non-cash amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets.

In terms of cash flow, UnitedHealth Group expects to generate $32 billion to $33 billion from operations. This outlook presents a slight discrepancy from analyst estimates, which had anticipated an operating cash flow of approximately $33.77 billion.

Looking a year earlier, the company’s 2024 net earnings per share are predicted to be in the range of $15.50 to $15.75, with adjusted net earnings per share forecasted to be between $27.50 and $27.75. These figures were initially announced during the third quarter earnings release.

The financial guidance suggests a confident trajectory for UnitedHealth Group as it continues to expand its presence in the healthcare sector. As with all forward-looking statements, these projections are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations.
