  • Adjusted EPS came in at $1.59, higher than $1.26 a year ago and ahead of the Wall Street estimate of $1.07.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $834 million than $732 million last year quarter.
  • Net operating revenues in the Hospital segment were $4.1 billion in Q2'21, a growth of 32.6% Y/Y, primarily due to significantly higher volumes given the impact of the pandemic in Q2'20, as well as higher patient acuity and pricing yield.

  • Outlook: Tenet sees full-year EPS of $5.23-$5.73 vs. $4.16-$5.46 previously. The new $5.48 midpoint is above the consensus for $5.00, but that includes Q2's $0.50 beat.
  • It sees sales of $19.25 billion $19.65 billion. Its new revenue midpoint of $19.45 billion is below the consensus of $19.61 billion.
  • The hospital operator sees Q3 adjusted EPS of $0.73 - $1.06 on revenue of $4.6 billion - $4.8 billion.
