DALLAS--()--Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) reported Adjusted EBITDA of $613 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $84 million, or 15.9 percent, compared to $529 million in the first quarter of 2015.

“I am delighted with Tenet’s very strong start to 2016. Our hospitals and outpatient centers generated strong growth, and the benefits of our diversified strategy are becoming increasingly evident,” said Trevor Fetter, chairman and chief executive officer. “Adjusted EBITDA was ahead of our Outlook range for the first quarter, putting us on a solid path to deliver our 2016 Outlook.”

Hospital Operations and Other Segment

Net operating revenue in the hospital operations and other segment increased to $4.397 billion, up 5.9 percent from $4.151 billion in the first quarter of 2015. On a same-hospital basis, patient revenue increased to $4.016 billion, up 6.0 percent from $3.790 billion in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was driven by a 2.2 percent increase in adjusted patient admissions and a 3.7 percent increase in net patient revenue per adjusted admission.

Adjusted EBITDA in Tenet’s hospital segment was $414 million, representing a decline of 1.0 percent as compared to $418 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily driven by divestitures and a decline in electronic health record incentives, and was partially offset by acquisitions. After adjusting for these items, hospital segment EBITDA increased approximately 8 percent.

Total hospital segment selected operating expenses, defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, increased 2.5 percent per adjusted admission in the quarter.

Exchanges

Tenet’s same-hospital exchange admissions were 5,351 in the first quarter of 2016, up 27.6 percent from the first quarter of 2015. Same-hospital exchange outpatient visits were 46,058, up 45.9% from the first quarter of 2015.

Uncompensated Care

Tenet’s bad debt expense ratio was 6.9 percent of revenues before bad debt in the first quarter of 2016, down from 7.6 percent in the first quarter of 2015. Uncompensated care represented 20.6 percent of adjusted revenue in the first quarter of 2016, down from 21.8 percent in the first quarter of 2015. Tenet’s uncompensated care cost was $1.309 billion and $1.236 billion in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, including $933 million and $873 million, respectively, of charity care write-offs and uninsured discounts that were offered through Tenet’s Compact with Uninsured Patients. Nearly all of Tenet’s uncompensated care is associated with the hospital segment.

Uninsured plus charity admissions declined by 374 admissions, or 3.8 percent on a same-hospital basis in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Uninsured plus charity outpatient visits increased by 2,093 visits, or 1.5 percent.

Ambulatory Segment

The results of many of the facilities in which the Ambulatory segment has an investment are not consolidated by Tenet. To help analyze results of operations, management uses system-wide measures which include revenues and cases of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. Tenet’s acquisition of a majority interest in USPI and all of Aspen on June 16, 2015 makes the year-over-year comparisons less meaningful since they were not owned for the entire year. In order to improve comparability, Tenet is presenting the results for the ambulatory segment on a pro forma basis, including the results of USPI and Aspen in each comparable period.

During the first quarter of 2016, on a pro forma basis, the ambulatory segment delivered net operating revenue of $429 million, representing an increase of 45.4 percent as compared to $295 million in the first quarter of 2015. On a pro forma same-facility system-wide basis, revenue in the ambulatory segment increased 11.0 percent, with cases increasing 8.6 percent and revenue per case increasing 2.2 percent.

Tenet’s ambulatory segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 44.7 percent from $94 million in the first quarter of 2015 on a pro forma basis. After subtracting $46 million and $27 million of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, and prior to subtracting noncontrolling interests expense related to minority shareholders in the Company’s USPI joint venture, Adjusted EBITDA less NCI increased 34.3 percent to $90 million in the first quarter of 2016, up from $67 million in the first quarter of 2015. After subtracting an additional $11 million of noncontrolling interests expense in the first quarter of 2016 and $7 million in the first quarter of 2015 on a pro forma basis related to minority shareholders in the USPI joint venture, Adjusted EBITDA less NCI increased 31.7 percent to $79 million in the first quarter of 2016, up from $60 million in the first quarter of 2015. The above noncontrolling interests amounts in the first quarter of 2016 exclude $18 million of noncontrolling interests expense recorded by USPI related to $29 million of gains on the consolidation of certain businesses and an associated $7 million favorable income tax adjustment.

Conifer Segment

During the first quarter of 2016, Conifer’s revenue increased 12.6 percent to $385 million, up from $342 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding revenue from Tenet, Conifer’s revenue from third party customers increased by 19.8 percent to $218 million. Conifer generated $63 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2016, representing an EBITDA margin of 16.4%. In the first quarter of 2015, Conifer generated $82 million of Adjusted EBITDA which included a non-recurring benefit from the extended and expanded contract with Catholic Health Initiatives.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

During the first quarter of 2016, Tenet generated Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $45 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. This excludes $100 in after-tax expense for items such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, litigation and investigation costs, gains on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, and the related impact on noncontrolling interests. During the first quarter of 2015, the company generated Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $67 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, excluding $21 million of after-tax expense for comparable items.

On a GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2016, including the results of both continuing and discontinued operations, Tenet reported a net loss of $59 million, or $0.60 per share, compared to net income of $47 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders to Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS is contained in Table #2.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents were $728 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $356 million at December 31, 2015. Tenet’s cash and debt balances as of March 31, 2016 reflect the $575 million in cash proceeds that the company received from the sale of our Atlanta-area hospitals which was completed on March 31, 2016. The company had no outstanding borrowings on its $1 billion credit line as of March 31, 2016.

Accounts receivable days outstanding were 50.6 at March 31, 2016 compared to 49.5 at December 31, 2015. The increase in accounts receivable days outstanding is primarily attributable to receivables that were retained from divested hospitals, including the transactions in Atlanta, North Carolina and St. Louis. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2016 was $219 million, representing a $239 million improvement compared to a $20 million outflow in the first quarter of 2015. After subtracting $208 million and $184 million of capital expenditures in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $11 million in the first quarter of 2016, representing a $215 million improvement compared to a $204 million outflow in the first quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations is contained in Table #3.

Increase in Litigation Reserves

As previously disclosed, the Company commenced discussions in January 2016 with the U.S. Department of Justice and the State of Georgia regarding potential resolution of the Clinica de la Mama criminal investigation and civil litigation. While these matters remain unresolved, the Company now believes that it has made significant progress toward reaching an agreement in principle on the monetary terms of a global resolution. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company increased its aggregate reserve for the Clinica de la Mama criminal investigation and civil litigation from $238 million to $407 million to reflect an offer made to resolve the matters. This amount is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 as accrued legal settlement costs. The increase in the reserve and other litigation costs lowered net income by approximately $135 million during the first quarter of 2016. For additional information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Outlook

The company confirmed its existing Outlook for 2016, including:

  • Revenue of $18.8 billion to $19.2 billion,
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion,
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $400 million to $600 million, and
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.18 to $2.25.

The Outlook for calendar year 2016 assumes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $150 million to $170 million, electronic health record incentives of $25 million to $35 million, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $320 million to $340 million (excluding the additional $18 million of noncontrolling interests recorded by USPI in the first quarter of 2016, as discussed above) and an average diluted share count of 102 million.

During the second quarter of 2016, Tenet expects to deliver:

  • Revenue of $4.8 billion to $5.0 billion,
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $600 million to $650 million, and
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.20 to $0.73.

The Outlook for the second quarter assumes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $30 million, electronic health record incentives of approximately $15 million, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $80 million to $90 million and an average diluted share count of 102 million.

(1)   On a same-facility system-wide basis, net revenue in Tenet’s Ambulatory Care segment increased 11.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2016, with cases increasing 8.6% and revenue per case increasing 2.2%.
(2) At March 31, 2016, 122 of the 335 facilities in the Company’s newly formed Ambulatory segment were not consolidated based on the nature of the segment’s joint venture relationships with physicians and prominent healthcare systems. Although revenues of the segment’s unconsolidated facilities are not recorded as revenues by the Company, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is nonetheless a significant portion of the Company’s overall earnings. To help analyze results of operations, management also uses system-wide operating measures such as system-wide revenue growth, which includes revenues of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. We control our remaining 213 facilities and account for these investments as consolidated subsidiaries.
(3) During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded $18 million of noncontrolling interests expense related to a $29 million gain on the consolidation of facilities (the gain is not included in Adjusted EBITDA) and an associated $7 million income tax benefit.
 

(1) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measurers

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the company as net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, net of tax, (2) net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests, (3) preferred stock dividends, (4) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, (5) income tax benefit (expense), (6) investment earnings (loss), (7) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (8) net gain (loss) on sales of investments, (9) interest expense, (10) litigation and investigation (costs) benefit, net of insurance recoveries, (11) hurricane insurance recoveries, net of costs, (12) net gains (losses) on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (13) impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, and (14) depreciation and amortization. The company’s Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP term, 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 is defined 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’s Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to free cash flow reported by other companies.

The company provides this information as a supplement to GAAP information to assist itself and investors in understanding the impact of various items on its financial statements, some of which are recurring or involve cash payments. The company uses this information in its analysis of the performance of its business excluding items that it does not consider as relevant in the performance of its continuing operations. The Company and investors also use this information to compare our operating results with other companies in the health care industry. In addition, from time to time the company uses these measures to define certain performance targets under our compensation programs. Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Adjusted Free Cash Flow are measures of liquidity, but are measures of operating performance that management uses in its business as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow exclude many items that are included in our financial statements, they do not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. Accordingly, investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating the company’s financial performance.

The reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP term to Adjusted EBITDA, is set forth in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
