Humana Inc. Tuesday issued full-year profit guidance slightly higher than its previous estimates, but said it expects a loss in the fourth quarter as utilization levels return to nearly normal following a slump during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Louisville, Ky.-based health insurer said it now expects a full-year profit of $24.70 a share to $24.95 a share, compared with previous guidance for $23.74 to $24.24 a share. On an adjusted basis, Humana now expects a profit of $18.50 to $18.75. Previously, Humana's guidance forecast an adjusted profit of $18.25 to $18.75.

Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting an adjusted profit of $18.97 for the full year.

The company said it expects a fourth-quarter loss as higher utilization and costs from Covid-19 treatment and testing contribute to expenses. Humana said second-half results will entirely offset outperformance that occurred in the first half of the year due to low utilization levels.
