DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Tenet Healthcare Corporation THC reported Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 of $459 million, an increase of $171 million, or 59.4 percent, compared to $288 million as reported in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis is $47 million, or 11.4 percent compared to pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $412 million in the third quarter of 2013. Pro forma operating metrics are defined as including both Tenet and Vanguard legacy facilities in both reporting periods. Excluding the EBITDA impact of the California Provider Fee Program, incremental Texas Medicaid supplemental revenues in the third quarter of 2013, and healthcare information technology incentives from both periods would have resulted in a pro forma adjusted EBITDA increase of $103 million, or 25.0 percent.

“We achieved another quarter of strong performance across every dimension of our business,” said Trevor Fetter, president and chief executive officer. “The growth strategies we have developed and the investments we have made drove record volume increases in inpatient admissions, commercial admissions, outpatient visits, surgeries, and emergency department visits. From a geographic standpoint, we delivered increases in adjusted admissions in every one of the 14 states in which we operate acute care hospitals. We exerted strong expense management to convert this robust volume growth into an EBITDA performance that exceeded our Outlook.”

Mr. Fetter continued, “We drove an accelerating contribution in the third quarter from healthcare reform, with sequentially higher declines in uncompensated care and increases in Medicaid volume. Importantly, more than 60 percent of our volume growth in the quarter was unrelated to reform, highlighting the impact of our growth strategies including our faster growing, higher margin, capital light businesses. Finally, we continue to be pleased with the progress of the Vanguard integration, which is exceeding our expectations.”

Discussion of Results (Percentage changes in operating metrics compare Q3'14 to Q3'13 on a same-hospital pro forma basis unless otherwise noted. Pro forma operating metrics are defined as including both Tenet and Vanguard legacy hospitals in both reporting periods.)

Tenet drove same-hospital pro forma growth in admissions and adjusted admissions of 3.9 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2013. This admissions growth was even stronger than the 2.8 percent and 4.0 percent respective growth rates for admissions and adjusted admissions achieved in the second quarter. The growth trend in commercial admissions continued to strengthen in the third quarter outperforming the strong commercial growth generated in the second quarter of this year and again achieved the strongest same-hospital commercial quarterly growth in more than a decade. Paying admissions increased by 6.1 percent. Surgeries grew by 9.8 percent and emergency department visits grew by 5.1 percent. The impact of the Affordable Care Act is estimated to have contributed approximately 40 percent of this volume growth while 60 percent of the growth was related to our investments in service line development, enhanced physician alignment, incremental gains in market share, and higher healthcare utilization.

Outpatient visits increased by 8.5 percent. Approximately 90 percent of the Company's outpatient growth was organic.

Payer mix continued to improve in the quarter. In the five states that expanded Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act, Tenet achieved a decline in uninsured plus charity admissions of 2,603 admissions, or 59.3 percent, and an increase in Medicaid admissions of 5,050 admissions, or 23.8 percent. Uninsured plus charity outpatient visits declined by 28,098 visits, or 37.2 percent, and Medicaid outpatient visits grew by 81,995 visits, or 32.3 percent, in these same five states. Across the entire company, including those states that did not expand Medicaid, uninsured plus charity admissions declined by 3,383 admissions, or 23.9 percent, while Medicaid admissions increased by 5,748 admissions, or 11.4 percent. Charity and uninsured outpatient visits declined by 30,168 visits, or 15.4 percent and Medicaid outpatient visits increased by 95,911 visits, or 20.6 percent.

Exchange volumes continued to grow rising to 3,395 admissions and 29,918 outpatient visits in the third quarter. On a sequential quarter basis, these exchange volumes were 22.8 percent and 24.5 percent higher, respectively, than the exchange admissions and outpatient visits in the second quarter of 2014.

Net operating revenues, after provision for doubtful accounts, were $4.179 billion, an increase of $238 million, or 6.0 percent, compared to pro forma net operating revenues of $3.941 billion in the third quarter of 2013. These revenue increases primarily reflect volume growth, improved terms in commercial managed care contracts, and growth in the company's Conifer services businesses. These growth drivers were partially offset by a decline of approximately $89 million in health plan revenues primarily due to a reduction of covered lives under a contract with the Arizona Medicaid program, and the absence of revenue from the California Provider Fee program in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $19 million in the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the impact of the California Provider Fee program, patient revenue net of bad debt expense per adjusted admission increased by 2.5 percent. Commercial managed care revenue increased 6.2 percent per admission and 2.5 percent per outpatient visit. The smaller increase in outpatient pricing reflects the growth in our urgent care centers, which generate lower revenues and costs per patient encounter.

Selected operating expenses for hospital operations, defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, decreased by 0.5 percent per adjusted admission. The selected operating expense metric for hospital operations excludes the Company's Conifer services business, health plans, and a provider network in Southern California. Excluding incremental expenses related to increased physician employment, selected operating expenses per adjusted admission declined by 1.4 percent. These favorable operating expense metrics reflect the realization of Vanguard cost synergies, Tenet's innovative Performance Excellence Program, and the favorable impact of operating leverage related to volume growth. Electronic health records incentives recorded in the third quarter of 2014 were $5 million, a $12 million decrease compared to the $17 million recognized in the third quarter of 2013 due to the timing of when certain of the Company's hospitals achieved meaningful use criteria. These incentive payments are not included in the definition of selected operating expenses.

Bad debt expense declined by $166 million, or 40.0 percent, to $249 million in the third quarter of 2014 on a pro forma basis. The decrease in bad debt expense was primarily attributable to a decline in uninsured revenues. Bad debt expense was 5.6 percent of revenues before bad debts, a decrease of 390 basis points compared to 9.5 percent in the third quarter of 2013. This was an incremental sequential quarter improvement of 170 basis points as compared to the 7.3 percent bad debt ratio reported in the second quarter of 2014.

Conifer reported Adjusted EBITDA of $47 million, an increase of $11 million, or 30.6 percent, compared to $36 million in the third quarter of 2013. Conifer's revenues were $296 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $71 million, or 31.6 percent, compared to $225 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2014 was $36 million after-tax, or $0.36 per diluted share, excluding $26 million in after-tax impairments, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, litigation and investigation costs and loss on debt extinguishment. Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2013 was $46 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, excluding the comparable items which totaled $13 million after-tax.

Net income attributable to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2014 was $9 million after-tax, or $0.09 per share, compared to $28 million after-tax, or $0.27 per share, in the third quarter of 2013. The third quarter of 2014 included a $95 million increase in pre-tax interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2013. This increased interest expense is substantially due to the $4.6 billion of financing related to the Vanguard acquisition and $200 million used to finance share repurchases since June 30, 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents were $200 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $406 million at June 30, 2014. Approximately $190 million of net revenues related to the California Provider Fee program, the Texas Medicaid disproportionate share funding, and the Texas uncompensated care 1115 Waiver programs had not been received by the Company as of September 30, 2014. Accounts receivable days were 49.3 days at September 30, 2014 compared to 48.9 days at June 30, 2014.

Outlook for 2014 Adjusted EBITDA

The Outlook range for 2014 Adjusted EBITDA is in a range of $1.90 to $1.95 billion, a $25 million mid-point increase as compared to the Company's prior Outlook of $1.85 to $1.95 billion. Based on this Outlook for 2014 Adjusted EBITDA, the Outlook for 2014 earnings per share is in a range of $1.26 to $1.78 per share. This Outlook assumes the California Provider Fee Program is approved by December 31, 2014, which would result in the recognition of $140 million of revenues in the fourth quarter.

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

For certain pro financial information of the Company as if the Vanguard acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2013, see Note 14 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014.
