DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Tenet Healthcare Corporation THC today reported adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $444 million, an increase of $108 million, or 32.1 percent, as compared to $336 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

“An improving sequential-quarter volume trend and solid revenue growth contributed to a strong finish to 2013,” said Trevor Fetter, president and chief executive officer. “We enter 2014 confident in our prospects. While we continue to face industry-wide inpatient volume headwinds, we are well-positioned to capture benefits from the evolving healthcare environment. We will continue to leverage our scale and diversity to drive growth while investing in clinical systems to enhance cost efficiencies. The integration of our recent acquisition of Vanguard is proceeding smoothly and we remain confident our targeted synergies will be achieved and are likely to be exceeded over the longer term. Finally, the healthcare coverage of newly insured patients under the Affordable Care Act will generate net benefits by reducing the burden of bad debt expense and gradually driving higher volumes.”

Discussion of Results (Percentage changes compare Q4'13 to Q4'12, unless otherwise noted.)

Adjusted admissions declined 0.5 percent in the fourth quarter on a same-hospital basis, including a 2.3 percent decline in same-hospital inpatient admissions. Including Vanguard's operations in both reporting periods, pro forma total-hospital adjusted admissions and admissions declined by 1.4 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. Total same-hospital emergency department visits increased 1.0 percent, and declined 1.8 percent on a total-hospital pro forma basis. Same-hospital surgeries grew by 21.5 percent and increased 13.5 percent on a total-hospital pro forma basis.

Net operating revenues were $3.885 billion, an increase of $1.554 billion, or 66.7 percent, compared to net operating revenues of $2.331 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Same-hospital net operating revenues were $2.471 billion, an increase of $140 million, or 6.0 percent, compared to net operating revenues of $2.331 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. Same-hospital net patient revenue per adjusted admission was $12,038, an increase of 1.4 percent. This pricing increase primarily reflects improved terms in commercial managed care contracts and incremental Medicaid revenues related to the California Provider Fee program. These favorable items were partially offset by adverse changes in payer mix. Same-hospital commercial managed care revenue increased 5.2 percent per admission, 4.5 percent per patient day, and 1.4 percent per outpatient visit. Net operating revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 included $19 million of revenues from the California Provider Fee program, a $7 million increase as compared to the $12 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012. The California legislature has approved and the governor has signed a 36-month extension to the California Provider Fee program effective January 1, 2014. The renewal also includes a framework to extend the program for at least three years beyond 2016. As previously disclosed, and based on preliminary estimates, Tenet expects to recognize approximately $475 million of net revenues under this program over the three year period ending December 31, 2016.

Same-hospital selected operating expenses for hospital operations, defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, increased by 3.7 percent on a per adjusted admission basis. The selected operating expense metric for hospital operations excludes the company's Conifer services business, health plans, and a provider network in Southern California that includes contracted independent physicians, ancillary providers and hospitals. Excluding incremental expenses related to increased physician employment, the increase in selected operating expenses per adjusted admission was 2.0 percent. Supplies expense per adjusted admission increased by 2.9 percent. These cost metrics represent favorable variances to the company's forecasted performance. The operating expense increases reflect volume growth in the company's supply-intensive service lines, especially surgical volume, as well as increases in employee compensation. The growth in supply-intensive service lines contributed to a 1.4 percent increase in the same-hospital case mix index and a 21.5 percent increase in same-hospital surgeries. Electronic health records incentives recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $48 million, a $21 million increase compared to the $27 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012. These incentive payments are excluded from the definition of selected operating expenses.

Same-hospital bad debt expense increased by $5 million to $205 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to last year's fourth quarter. The increase in bad debt expense was primarily attributable to an increase in uninsured revenues. Same-hospital bad debt expense as a percent of revenues before bad debts was 7.7 percent, a decrease of 20 basis points compared to 7.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company's same-hospital self-pay collection rate was 28.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, a 20 basis point decline compared to 28.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. The same-hospital commercial managed care collection rate was 98.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, a 30 basis point increase compared to 98.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Conifer reported adjusted EBITDA of $36 million, an increase of $5 million, or 16.1 percent, compared to $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Conifer's revenues were $264 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of $113 million, or 74.8 percent, compared to $151 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Income from continuing operations, excluding $60 million in after-tax impairments, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, litigation and investigation costs and loss on debt extinguishment, was $43 million after-tax, or $0.43 per diluted share. The comparable after-tax exclusions were $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, which resulted in income from continuing operations of $65 million, or $0.60 per diluted share.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $24 million after-tax, or $0.24 per share, compared to net income of $49 million after-tax, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. The loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 included a $73 million increase in pre-tax interest expense compared the fourth quarter of 2012. This increased interest expense reflects incremental net debt from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013 of $5.8 billion. The increase in debt includes approximately $4.6 billion related to the financing of the Vanguard acquisition and $400 million to finance share repurchases.

Cash and cash equivalents were $113 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $82 million at September 30, 2013. The company had a $405 million balance on its bank line at December 31, 2013 compared to $210 million at September 30, 2013. Accounts receivable days were 48 days at December 31, 2013. Approximately $100 million of aggregate net revenues related to the California Provider Fee program and the Texas uncompensated care 1115 Waiver program had not been received by the company as of December 31, 2013.

Tenet invested $100 million to repurchase approximately 2.390 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Board Authorized Repurchase Program of $500 million was completed as of December 31, 2013. Under this completed authorization and a prior authorization initiated in 2011, Tenet invested $1.192 billion to repurchase 45.925 million shares, or approximately 34 percent of its outstanding shares, including its convertible preferred stock, at a weighted average price of $25.96 per share.

Outlook for 2014 Adjusted EBITDA

The company's outlook range for 2014 adjusted EBITDA is $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. The 2014 outlook includes an assumed contribution of $50 million to $100 million from the Affordable Care Act, before the adverse impact of reduced government reimbursement rates of approximately $50 million. The 2014 outlook assumes a favorable impact of $50 to $100 million from the capture of synergies related to the Vanguard acquisition. The EBITDA contributions from both the ACA and Vanguard synergies are assumed to be recognized predominantly in the second half of the year. The 2014 outlook includes assumptions which reflect the continuing inpatient headwinds impacting the industry. Pro forma total-hospital admissions are assumed to decline by two percent to flat and adjusted admissions are assumed to decline by one percent to growth of one percent. This 2014 adjusted EBITDA outlook is consistent with earnings per share of $0.49 to $1.67. The company's outlook for adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2014 is $350 million to $400 million. The first quarter outlook assumes $10 million of electronic health records incentives, no recognition of revenues from the California Provider Fee Program since the program has not yet been approved by the federal government, and minimal contributions from healthcare reform and Vanguard synergies.

(1) Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

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 benefit (costs), net of insurance recoveries; (11) hurricane insurance recoveries, net of costs; (12) impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs; and (13) depreciation and amortization. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA 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 hospitals in continuing operations. In addition, from time to time we use this measure to define certain performance targets under our compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity, but is a measure 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 excludes many items that are included in our financial statements, it does 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 first table below for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
