Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) reported a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $9 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to a $366 million net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was $577 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $507 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, Executive Chairman and CEO, said, “We had a solid quarter of results at both USPI and Conifer. Our hospitals did not meet our expectations and we are focusing on specific areas to address those gaps. Strengthening enterprise operations remains our primary focus – and we will continue moving with urgency to implement targeted growth initiatives, achieve operational efficiencies, make further enhancements to our facility portfolio and instill culture changes to drive accountability.”

Hospital Operations and Other Segment

Net operating revenues in the Hospital Operations and other segment were $3.762 billion, down 2.7 percent from the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to hospital divestitures, partially offset by same-hospital revenue growth.

On a same-hospital basis, net patient revenues after implicit price concessions were $3.432 billion, up 6.0 percent from the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted admissions grew 0.3 percent in the third quarter of 2018 and would have been up approximately 1.3 percent on a same-hospital basis excluding service line closures and declines in Detroit. The Company’s decision to discontinue certain services at selected hospitals lowered same-hospital adjusted admissions by approximately 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, volume declines in Detroit lowered same-hospital adjusted admissions by approximately 70 basis points. Revenue per adjusted admission increased 5.7 percent on a same-hospital basis. Same-hospital revenue included $71 million from the California Provider Fee Program in the third quarter of 2018 compared to no revenue in the third quarter of 2017 since the 2017 program was not approved until December 2017; excluding timing differences related to the California Provider Fee, same-hospital revenue per adjusted admission increased 3.6 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA in Tenet’s hospital segment was $312 million, an increase of $43 million or 16.0 percent as compared to $269 million in the third quarter of 2017. Key items impacting the year-over-year comparison in Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) a $71 million increase in California Provider Fee revenue, (ii) a $13 million decline in EBITDA due to facilities that have been divested; (iii) a $16 million gain in the third quarter of 2018 from the sale of a minority interest investment which was recorded as a reduction in other operating expenses, (iv) a $4 million impact from hurricanes in the third quarter of 2018 compared to a $20 million impact in the third quarter of 2017, (v) an unanticipated $21 million loss on risk-based contracts in California in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $2 million of EBITDA in the third quarter of 2017, (vi) $11 million of negative EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 from three hospitals that are being divested compared to $2 million of negative EBITDA in the third quarter of 2017, and (vii) a $1 million decline in electronic health record incentives. After normalizing for these items, Adjusted EBITDA in the hospital segment declined by $10 million, or 2.9 percent.

Tenet’s health plan business recognized $8 million of revenue and $9 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 versus $10 million of revenue and negative $6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2017. The revenue and expenses associated with the Company’s health plan operations are included in Tenet’s consolidated statements of operations; however, the results are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in both periods.

Selected operating expenses in the hospital segment, defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, increased 3.9 percent on a per adjusted admission basis in the third quarter of 2018. Salaries, wages and benefits and supply expense were well managed, increasing 0.9 percent and 4.6 percent per adjusted admission, respectively. Other operating expenses increased 9.5 percent per adjusted admission primarily due to the aforementioned losses on risk-based contracts in California and an increase in malpractice expense, partially offset by the aforementioned $16 million gain on the sale of an asset.

Exchanges

Tenet’s same-hospital exchange outpatient visits increased 8.1 percent to 51,539 in the third quarter of 2018. Same-hospital exchange admissions were 4,577 in the third quarter of 2018, down 4.0 percent from the third quarter of 2017.

Ambulatory Care Segment

During the third quarter of 2018, the Ambulatory segment produced net operating revenues of $502 million, representing an increase of 7.3 percent as compared to $468 million in the third quarter of 2017. In addition, the Ambulatory segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $184 million, up 15.7 percent from $159 million in the third quarter of 2017 and Adjusted EBITDA less facility-level noncontrolling interest expense was $116 million, up 11.5 percent from $104 million in the third quarter of 2017.

The results of many of the facilities in which the Ambulatory segment has an investment are not consolidated by Tenet. To help analyze the segment’s results of operations, management uses system-wide measures, which include revenues and cases of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. On a same-facility system-wide basis, revenue in the Ambulatory segment increased 6.7 percent, with cases increasing 5.0 percent and revenue per case increasing 1.6 percent. In the surgical business, which represents the majority of the revenue in the Ambulatory segment, same-facility system-wide revenue grew 6.6 percent, with cases up 4.0 percent and revenue per case up 2.5 percent. In the non-surgical business, same-facility system-wide revenue grew 9.4 percent, with visits up 6.6 percent and revenue per visit up 2.5 percent.

Conifer Segment

During the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to client attrition following divestitures by Tenet and other customers, Conifer’s revenue decreased 7.5 percent to $371 million, down from $401 million in the third quarter of 2017. Revenue from third party customers declined 10.7 percent to $225 million.

Conifer generated $81 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018, up 2.5 percent from $79 million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 210 basis points to 21.8 percent in the third quarter of 2018, up from 19.7 percent in the third quarter of 2017.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Tenet reported a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to a net loss of $366 million, or $3.63 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

As shown on Table #2 at the end of this release, the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $9 million included: (i) $46 million of pre-tax impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs including $21 million of employee severance, $5 million of contract and lease termination fees, and $20 million of other items; (ii) $9 million of pre-tax litigation and investigation costs; (iii) $7 million of pre-tax net losses on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, and, (iv) $9 million of income from divested and closed businesses. These items collectively lowered pre-tax income by $53 million, after-tax income by $39 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.38.

After adjusting for the items listed above and on Table #2, Tenet produced Adjusted net income from continuing operations available to Tenet common shareholders of $30 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2018, as compared to an Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $17 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders to Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is contained in Table #2 at the end of this release.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents were $500 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $403 million at June 30, 2018. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on its $1 billion credit line as of September 30, 2018. Accounts receivable days outstanding from continuing operations were 56.3 at September 30, 2018 compared to 55.1 at June 30, 2018 and 55.8 at December 31, 2017.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $799 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing a $90 million increase compared to $709 million in the first nine months of 2017. After subtracting $404 million and $492 million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, Free Cash Flow was $395 million in the first nine months of 2018, an increase of $178 million compared to $217 million in the first nine months of 2017. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $512 million in the first nine months of 2018, representing a $204 million increase from $308 million in the first nine months of 2017.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $120 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared to $227 million in the first nine months of 2017. The 2018 period included $663 million of proceeds from the sales of facilities, long-term investments and other assets, primarily from the sale of the Company’s two hospitals in the Philadelphia area, MacNeal Hospital, Des Peres Hospital, the Company’s minority interests in four Dallas-area hospitals and the sale of Aspen in the United Kingdom. The 2018 period also included $140 million of purchases of businesses, joint ventures and equity investments, primarily related to USPI’s acquisition program.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.030 billion in the first nine months of 2018 compared to $1.223 billion of net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2017. The 2018 period included $643 million in purchases of noncontrolling interests, including approximately $630 million in the second quarter of 2018 to increase Tenet’s ownership in USPI to 95 percent, and $114 million of cash to retire $118 million of debt through open market purchases.

Reconciliations of net cash provided by operating activities to both Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are contained in Table #3 at the end of this release.

Outlook

The Company’s revised Outlook for 2018 includes a $37 million reduction, at the midpoint, in net income from continuing operations available to Tenet common shareholders and a $50 million reduction, at the midpoint, to Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted EBITDA revision reflects the following:

  • Hospital Operations and other segment: Reducing the midpoint of the Adjusted EBITDA Outlook by $60 million to a new range of $1.385 billion to $1.415 billion to include: (i) approximately $25 million of losses on risk-based capitated contracts in California, primarily due to adverse claims experience trends; (ii) lower volume and payer mix expectations; and (iii) increased malpractice expense to settle various cases; the date of loss on many of these cases occurred more than five years ago.
  • Ambulatory Care segment: Increasing the midpoint of the Adjusted EBITDA Outlook by $10 million to a new range of $790 million to $800 million.
  • Conifer segment: Maintaining the Adjusted EBITDA Outlook range of $350 million to $360 million.

Other components of the Company’s Outlook for 2018 include:

  • Revenue of $18.1 billion to $18.3 billion,

  • Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.81 to $1.38, and
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.44 to $1.83.

The Outlook for 2018 assumes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $150 million to $160 million, net income available to noncontrolling interests of $365 million to $385 million and an average diluted share count of 104 million.

The Company’s Outlook for the fourth quarter of 2018 includes:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, (2) net loss attributable (income available) to noncontrolling interests, (3) income (loss) from discontinued operations, (4) income tax benefit (expense), (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) other non-operating income (expense), net, (7) interest expense, (8) litigation and investigation (costs) benefit, net of insurance recoveries, (9) net gains (losses) on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (10) impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, (11) depreciation and amortization and (12) income (loss) from divested operations and closed businesses (i.e., the Company’s health plan businesses). Litigation and investigation costs do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expense.

Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) net income (loss) from discontinued operations, (2) impairment and restructuring charges, and acquisition-related costs, (3) litigation and investigation costs, (4) net gains (losses) on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) income (loss) from divested operations and closed businesses, and (7) the associated impact of these items on taxes and noncontrolling interests. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders divided by the weighted average primary or diluted shares outstanding in the reporting period.

Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as (1) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less (2) purchases of property and equipment from continuing operations.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as (1) Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations, less (2) purchases of property and equipment from continuing operations. Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as cash provided by (used in) operating activities prior to (1) payments for restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs and litigation costs and settlements, and (2) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from discontinued operations.

The Company believes the foregoing non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and analysts because they present additional information on the Company’s financial performance. Investors, analysts, Company management and the Company’s Board of Directors utilize these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP measures, to track the Company’s financial and operating performance and compare the Company’s performance to its peer companies, which utilize similar non-GAAP measures in their presentations. The Human Resources Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors also uses certain of these measures to evaluate management’s performance for the purpose of determining incentive compensation. Additional information regarding the purpose and utility of specific non-GAAP measures used in this release is set forth below.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure, in part, because certain investors and analysts use both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to other GAAP and non-GAAP measures, as factors in determining the estimated fair value of shares of the Company’s common stock. Company management also regularly reviews the Adjusted EBITDA performance for each operating segment. The Company does not use Adjusted EBITDA to measure liquidity, but instead to measure operating performance.

We use, and we believe investors and analysts use, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures to analyze cash flows generated from our operations because we believe it is useful to investors in evaluating our ability to fund distributions paid to noncontrolling interests, acquisitions, purchasing equity interests in joint ventures or repaying debt.

These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Because these measures exclude many items that are included in our financial statements, they do not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. For example, the Company’s definitions of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow do not include other important uses of cash including (1) cash used to purchase businesses or joint venture interests, or (2) any items that are classified as Cash Flows From Financing Activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, including items such as (i) cash used to repay borrowings, (ii) distributions paid to noncontrolling interests, or (iii) payments under the Put/Call Agreement for USPI redeemable noncontrolling interest, which are recorded on the Statement of Cash Flows as the purchase of noncontrolling interest. Accordingly, investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating the Company’s financial performance.

A reconciliation of net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth in Table #1 below for each quarter in 2017 and 2018. A reconciliation of net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders is set forth in Table #2 below for each quarter in 2017 and 2018. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is set forth in Table #3 below for each quarter in 2017 and 2018.
