DALLAS--()--Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) reported a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $27 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to net income of $98 million in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $613 million in the first quarter of 2019 above the midpoint of the Company’s Outlook range of $575 million to $625 million.

Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, Executive Chairman and CEO, said, “We had a solid start to the year, building on the many positive changes we made across the enterprise in 2018. These changes include the continued addition of new leadership as well as an infusion of fresh thinking, which are helping to transform our approach to operations and overall enterprise culture. In the first quarter, we continued to make progress in each of our business segments through rigorous implementation of our strategic initiatives, and we were pleased with our performance, both operationally and financially. As we move through the year, we remain focused on revenue growth and expense management to sharpen operations and our competitive position.”

Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2019

Adjusted EBITDA was $613 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $665 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decline was primarily attributable to: (i) a $38 million increase in malpractice expense; (ii) $11 million of losses generated by a risk-based contracting business in California in the first quarter of 2019; (iii) $7 million due to the divestiture of Aspen Healthcare, the Company’s former operations in the United Kingdom; and (iv) $10 million of contract termination fees received by Conifer in the first quarter of 2018 which did not occur again in the first quarter of 2019. These four items were substantially anticipated in the Company’s Outlook range provided in February.

Hospital Operations and Other Segment

Net operating revenues in the Hospital Operations and other segment were $3.862 billion in the first quarter of 2019, down 2.2 percent from the first quarter of 2018. The decline in revenue was due to hospital divestitures, partially offset by same-hospital revenue growth.

On a same-hospital basis, net patient service revenues were $3.559 billion in the first quarter of 2019, up 1.9 percent from the first quarter of 2018. Admissions declined 0.1 percent on a same-hospital basis, adjusted admissions increased 0.6 percent and revenue per adjusted admission increased 1.3 percent. A decline in flu cases lowered admissions and adjusted admissions by 80 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA in Tenet’s hospital segment was $337 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $402 million in the first quarter of 2018. The $65 million decline was primarily due to a $38 million increase in malpractice expense (comprised of a $21 million increase to settle various claims and $17 million of discount rate adjustments), $11 million of losses generated by a risk-based contracting business in California in the first quarter of 2019 and a stronger flu season in the first quarter of 2018.

Selected operating expenses in the Hospital Operations and other segment increased 4.0 percent on a per adjusted admission basis in the first quarter of 2019 and increased 2.5 percent excluding the $38 million increase in malpractice expense as well as the $11 million of losses generated by a risk-based contracting business in California. Selected operating expenses include salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses and exclude the costs of the Company’s health plan businesses. Salaries, wages and benefits increased 2.8 percent per adjusted admission in the first quarter of 2019 and supply expense remained substantially the same. Other operating expenses increased 9.4 percent per adjusted admission in the first quarter of 2019 and increased 3.6 percent per adjusted admission excluding the increase in malpractice expense and risk-based contracting losses in California mentioned above.

Ambulatory Care Segment

The Ambulatory Care segment produced net operating revenues of $480 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 3.6 percent compared to $498 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decline in revenue was due to the divestiture of Aspen Healthcare in the third quarter of 2018. Aspen generated $49 million of revenue and $7 million of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less facility-level noncontrolling interest in the first quarter of 2018. After normalizing for the divestiture of Aspen, the Ambulatory Care segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $177 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 12.0 percent from $158 million in the first quarter of 2018 and Adjusted EBITDA less facility-level noncontrolling interest was $112 million, up 9.8 percent from $102 million in the first quarter of 2018.

The results of many of the facilities in which the Ambulatory Care segment has an investment are not consolidated by Tenet (of the 334 facilities at March 31, 2019, the results of 108 were accounted for under the equity method for unconsolidated affiliates). 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 Care segment increased 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, with cases increasing 0.9 percent and revenue per case increasing 3.3 percent. In the surgical business, which represents the majority of the revenue in the Ambulatory segment, same-facility system-wide revenue grew 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, with cases up 2.8 percent and revenue per case up 1.4 percent.

Conifer Segment

During the first quarter of 2019, Conifer’s revenue declined 13.6 percent to $349 million, primarily due to client attrition following divestitures by Tenet and other customers, down from $404 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue from third party customers declined 20.1 percent to $203 million in the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year revenue and EBITDA comparisons were also impacted by $10 million of contract termination fees received by Conifer in the first quarter of 2018, which did not occur again in the first quarter of 2019.

Conifer generated $99 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2019, up 1.0 percent from $98 million in the first quarter of 2018 and up 12.5 percent after adjusting for the $10 million of contract termination fees in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 410 basis points to 28.4 percent, reflecting the ongoing improvement in Conifer’s cost structure.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Tenet reported a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Tenet common shareholders of $27 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019 compared to net income of $98 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018. The net loss in the first quarter of 2019 included a $47 million pre-tax loss from the early extinguishment of debt; net income in the first quarter of 2018 included $110 million of pre-tax gains on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, primarily comprised of a $98 million gain from the sale of MacNeal Hospital and other operations affiliated with the hospital and a gain of $13 million from the sales of the Company’s minority interests in four North Texas hospitals.

After adjusting for the items listed on Table #2, Tenet produced Adjusted net income from continuing operations available to Tenet common shareholders of $56 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $59 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders to Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is contained in Table #2 at the end of this release.

Accounts receivable days outstanding from continuing operations were 58.6 at March 31, 2019 compared to 56.5 at December 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing a $103 million decrease compared to $113 million in the first quarter of 2018. After subtracting $192 million and $143 million of capital expenditures in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, Free Cash Flow was an outflow of $182 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of $152 million compared to an outflow of $30 million in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was an outflow of $148 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing a $152 million decrease from an inflow of $4 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Net cash used in investing activities was $139 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $373 million of net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of 2018.

(1) On a same-facility system-wide basis, net revenue in Tenet’s Ambulatory Care segment increased 4.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with cases increasing 0.9% and revenue per case increasing 3.3%.

(2) At March 31, 2019, 108 of the 334 facilities in the Company’s 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 226 facilities and account for these investments as consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, (2) net loss attributable (income available) to noncontrolling interests, (3) income (loss) from discontinued operations, (4) income tax benefit (expense), (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) other non-operating income (expense), net, (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, (11) depreciation and amortization and (12) income (loss) from divested operations and closed businesses (i.e., the Company’s health plan businesses). Litigation and investigation costs do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expense.

Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders before (1) net income (loss) from discontinued operations, (2) impairment and restructuring charges, and acquisition-related costs, (3) litigation and investigation costs, (4) net gains (losses) on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) income (loss) from divested operations and closed businesses, and (7) the associated impact of these items on taxes and noncontrolling interests. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders divided by the weighted average primary or 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 include 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 net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth in Table #1 below for each quarter in 2018 and 2019. A reconciliation of net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet Healthcare Corporation common shareholders is set forth in Table #2 below for each quarter in 2018 and 2019. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow is set forth in Table #3 below for each quarter in 2018 and 2019.
