| Asset age ratio | Description | The company |
|---|---|---|
| Average age ratio | As long as straight-line depreciation is used, this is an accurate estimate of asset age as a percentage of depreciable life. The relative age is a useful measure of whether the company fixed asset base is old or new. Newer assets are likely to be more efficient. | Cigna Group average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2021 to 2022 and from 2022 to 2023. |
| Estimated total useful life | Over longer time periods, this ratio is a useful measure of company depreciation policy and can be used for comparisons with competitors. | Cigna Group estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment increased from 2021 to 2022 but then slightly decreased from 2022 to 2023. |
| Estimated time elapsed since purchase | The approximate age in years of a company fixed assets. Useful for comparison purposes. | Cigna Group estimated time elapsed since purchase of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2021 to 2022 and from 2022 to 2023. |
| Estimated remaining life | Cigna Group estimated remaining life of depreciable property, plant and equipment decreased from 2021 to 2022 and from 2022 to 2023. |
