CVS Health's President and CEO, Karen S. Lynch, commented on the results, stating, "The current environment does not diminish our opportunities, enthusiasm, or the long-term earnings power of our company. We are confident we have a pathway to address our near-term Medicare Advantage challenges." She emphasized the company's commitment to its strategy and belief in its assets to deliver value despite near-term pressures.

CVS Health's guidance adjustment and the first-quarter results have set a cautious tone for the company's financial outlook for the remainder of the year.
