DALLAS--()--Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) reported a net loss from continuing operations of $9 million in the third quarter of 2016, a $19 million improvement when compared to a $28 million net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA was $570 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $4 million, or 0.7 percent, compared to $566 million in the third quarter of 2015.

“Our focus on high-acuity service lines continues to drive growth in our hospitals and contributed to the 5.3% increase in same-hospital patient revenues this quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in our hospital segment increased by a similar amount after adjusting for acquisitions, divestitures and electronic health record incentives,” said Trevor Fetter, chairman and chief executive officer. “Conifer and USPI delivered another outstanding quarter, and our three business segments continue to work together to enhance our long-term growth.”

Hospital Operations and Other Segment

Net operating revenue in the Hospital Operations and other segment was $4.162 billion, down 0.4 percent from $4.179 billion in the third quarter of 2015 due to hospitals that have been divested since that time. On a same-hospital basis, patient revenue increased to $3.768 billion, up 5.3 percent from $3.577 billion in the third quarter of 2015. The increase was driven by a 1.4 percent increase in adjusted patient admissions and a 3.9 percent increase in net patient revenue per adjusted admission.

Adjusted EBITDA in Tenet’s hospital segment was $334 million, representing a decline of 12.8 percent as compared to $383 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily driven by divestitures in 2015 and 2016 and an expected decrease in electronic health record incentives, and was partially offset by acquisitions in 2015. In addition, Tenet’s health plan business lowered EBITDA in the segment by approximately $5 million.

Total hospital segment selected operating expenses, defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, increased 3.1 percent on a per adjusted admission basis in the quarter. Approximately one-third of the increase was attributable to an increase in expense at Tenet’s health plans, which was substantially offset by an increase in health plan revenues as a result of additional covered lives in 2016.

Exchanges

Tenet’s same-hospital exchange admissions were 5,465 in the third quarter of 2016, up 16.9 percent from the third quarter of 2015. Same-hospital exchange outpatient visits were 51,015, up 32.0 percent from the third quarter of 2015.

Uncompensated Care

Tenet’s provision for doubtful accounts was $367 million in the third quarter of 2016, representing a ratio of 7.0 percent of revenues before bad debt, as compared to $371 million in the third quarter of 2015, or 7.3 percent of revenues before bad debt. Tenet’s uncompensated care costs, defined as the sum of the provision for doubtful accounts, charity care write-offs and uninsured discounts, was $1.318 billion and $1.303 billion in the third quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, including $951 million and $932 million, respectively, of charity care write-offs and uninsured discounts that were offered through Tenet’s Compact with Uninsured Patients. Uncompensated care represented 21.4 percent of revenue before bad debts, uninsured discounts and charity care write-offs in the third quarter of 2016, down from 21.7 percent in the third quarter of 2015. Nearly all of Tenet’s uncompensated care is associated with the Hospital Operations and other segment.

Uninsured plus charity admissions increased by 985 admissions, or 10.5 percent on a same-hospital basis in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Uninsured plus charity outpatient visits decreased by 3,733 visits, or 2.8 percent, on a same-hospital basis.

Ambulatory Care Segment

During the third quarter of 2016, the Ambulatory segment produced net operating revenue of $448 million, representing an increase of 36.2 percent as compared to $329 million in the third quarter of 2015. In addition, the Ambulatory segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $157 million, up 28.7 percent from $122 million in the third quarter of 2015

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 9.7 percent, with cases increasing 4.0 percent and revenue per case increasing 5.5 percent.

Conifer Segment

During the third quarter of 2016, Conifer’s revenue increased 14.7 percent to $398 million, up from $347 million in the third quarter of 2015, and Conifer’s revenue from third party customers increased by 29.9 percent to $239 million. Conifer generated $79 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2016, up 29.5 percent from $61 million in the third quarter of 2015. Conifer’s results for the third quarter of 2016 included $9 million of annual customer incentives. These incentives may be achieved again in future years, but will not recur at these levels in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Tenet reported a net loss from continuing operations of $9 million, or $0.09 per share, in the third quarter of 2016 compared to a net loss of $28 million, or $0.28 per share, in the third quarter of 2015.

After adjusting for certain items which are listed on Table #2, Tenet generated Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $16 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2016, as compared to Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $30 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders to Adjusted net income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings 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 $649 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $656 million at June 30, 2016. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on its $1 billion credit line as of September 30, 2016. Accounts receivable days outstanding were 52.9 at September 30, 2016 compared to 51.1 at June 30, 2016 and 49.5 at December 31, 2015.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $851 million, representing a $16 million improvement compared to $835 million in the comparable period in 2015. After subtracting $614 million and $566 million of capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, Free Cash Flow was $237 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing a $32 million decline compared to $269 million in the comparable period in 2015. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $368 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing a $76 million decline from $444 million in the comparable period in 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities was $150 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $1.272 billion of net cash used in investing activities in the comparable period in 2015. Net cash used in financing activities was $408 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $694 million of net cash provided by financing activities in the comparable period in 2015.

(1) On a same-facility system-wide basis, net revenue in Tenet’s Ambulatory Care segment increased 9.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, with cases increasing 4.0% and revenue per case increasing 5.5%.

(2) At September 30, 2016, 114 of the 330 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 212 facilities and account for these investments as consolidated subsidiaries.

(3) During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $1 million of noncontrolling interests expense related to a $3 million gain on the consolidation of facilities (the gain is not included in Adjusted EBITDA).

(3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $19 million of noncontrolling interests expense related to a $33 million gain on the consolidation of facilities (the gain is not included in Adjusted EBITDA) and an associated $7 million income tax benefit.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, 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, (2) net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests, (3) income (loss) from discontinued operations, (4) income tax benefit (expense), (5) investment earnings (losses), (6) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (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, and (11) depreciation and amortization. Litigation and investigation costs do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expense.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) impairment and restructuring charges, and acquisition-related costs, (2) litigation and investigation costs, (3) gains on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (4) the associated impact of these three items on taxes and noncontrolling interests, and (5) net income (loss) from discontinued operations. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as Adjusted net income from continuing operations divided by the weighted average 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 account for 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 Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, is set forth in Table #1 below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income from continuing operations to net income (loss) attributable to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, is set forth in Table #2 below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, is set forth in Table #3 below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
