Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) today reported Adjusted EBITDA of $294 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $13 million, or 4.6 percent, compared to $281 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 13.2 percent, compared to 13.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $76 million, or a loss of $0.17 per diluted share, compared to income of $74 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. These results included a $117 million pre-tax loss from early extinguishment of debt incurred in relation to Tenet’s strategy to extend debt maturities and reduce future interest expense. Excluding impairment, litigation and investigation costs, loss from early extinguishment of debt, and valuation tax adjustments from both fourth quarters, income from continuing operations, net of tax, was $42 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $43 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

“We recorded our eighth consecutive year of growth in Adjusted EBITDA which grew to $1.145 billion in 2011, a 9.0 percent increase over 2010,” said Trevor Fetter, president and chief executive officer. “The growth would have been even stronger had we been able to close some of the favorable payer settlements we have been working on for a number of months. Because the settlements remain likely, we are raising our 2012 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to a new range of $1.225 billion to $1.350 billion. We also recorded our fifth consecutive quarter of growth in adjusted admissions which grew by 1.3 percent. The favorable growth in patient volumes, combined with strong pricing growth, enabled us to achieve a 5.4 percent increase in net operating revenues in the quarter.”

Discussion of Results (Percentage changes compare Q4’11 to Q4’10, unless otherwise noted.)

Adjusted admissions increased by 1.3 percent. Admissions increased by 0.3 percent, and paying admissions were flat. Emergency Departments visits increased by 3.1 percent, and there was a 3.3 percent increase in admissions through our Emergency Departments. Total surgeries increased by 3.2 percent with inpatient surgeries declining by 3.1 percent and outpatient surgeries increasing by 7.6 percent.

Net operating revenues were $2.226 billion, an increase of $115 million, or 5.4 percent, compared to net operating revenues of $2.111 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010. As a result of the Company’s early adoption of a new accounting standard, net operating revenues are now reported after a deduction for the provision for doubtful accounts. Under the Company’s prior reporting standard, net operating revenues would have been $2.411 billion, an increase of 4.8 percent, compared to $2.301 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net patient revenue per adjusted admission was $11,633, an increase of 2.3 percent, compared to $11,370 in the fourth quarter of 2010. This pricing increase reflects improved terms in our contracts with commercial managed care payers, partially offset by an adverse shift in payer mix.

Selected operating expenses, which is defined as the sum of salaries, wages and benefits, supplies and other operating expenses, increased by 6.5 percent on a per adjusted patient day basis in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily due to annual merit increases, an increase in the number of physicians we employ, and higher health benefit costs for our employees. The comparison to last year’s fourth quarter was made more challenging by a $10 million favorable adjustment in that quarter related to the estimated recovery of payroll taxes paid in prior years on behalf of medical residents. Selected operating expenses were also adversely impacted by lower interest rates at quarter-end which contributed $14 million of increased expense between the fourth quarter of 2011 and 2010. Although claims experience for both malpractice and workers’ compensation expense continue to be favorable, lower interest rates increased the balances of these discounted liabilities. Supply costs were well-controlled, declining by $3 million, and were flat on a per adjusted patient day basis. Excluding the expenses from additional physician employment, the favorable payroll tax adjustment in the 2010 quarter, and expenses related to lower interest rates, the 6.5 percent increase in selected expenses per adjusted patient day would have been 4.4 percent.

Bad debt expense was $185 million, a decline of 2.6 percent, as compared to $190 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Bad debt expense as a percent of revenues before provision for doubtful accounts declined to 7.7 percent, a decline of 60 basis points compared to 8.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010. The improvement in bad debt expense primarily was due to favorable adjustments related to updates to our estimates of collection rates in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to unfavorable adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2010. The change in bad debt expense also was impacted favorably by deterioration in the age of managed care receivables in the fourth quarter of 2010 that did not occur in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents were $113 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $72 million from $185 million at September 30, 2011. Cash used in the fourth quarter of 2011 included $178 million to repurchase 40.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $28 million for the purchase of five outpatient centers and certain assets related to acquired physician practices. Capital expenditures were $177 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $196 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had an outstanding balance of $80 million on its credit line.

Through December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased an aggregate total of 75.8 million shares of common stock since announcing its $400 million share repurchase program in May, 2011. These 75.8 million repurchased shares represent 15.5 percent of outstanding common shares at the time the program was initiated. The average repurchase price was $4.94 per share for a total expenditure of approximately $374 million. At December 31, 2011, there were 415 million shares of common stock outstanding. The full $400 million common stock repurchase program was completed in January 2012. In total, 81.1 million shares, or 17 percent of our outstanding shares, were repurchased at an average price of $4.94.

Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA

Tenet raised its 2012 Outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to a new range of $1.225 billion to $1.350 billion. Other than expected outpatient acquisitions, the Company’s 2012 Outlook represents purely organic growth.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2012 is expected to comprise approximately one-fifth of the Company’s total Adjusted EBITDA for the year. This reflects the expectation that the approximately $140 million in state provider fees will be recognized in the second half of the year. In addition, the expected ramp up of Tenet’s strategic initiatives, including cost efficiencies related to the Medicare Performance Initiative and incremental outpatient acquisitions, are expected to make more significant contributions to earnings in the second half of the year.

Tenet reconfirmed its 2013 Outlook range for Adjusted EBITDA of $1.335 billion to $1.535 billion. The 2015 Outlook range for Adjusted EBITDA, which includes the increased coverage of the uninsured pursuant to the Affordable Care Act, was reconfirmed at $1.75 billion to $2.25 billion.

Tenet’s statements on outlook constitute forward-looking information and are subject to the qualifications set forth at the end of this release.

(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) cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, net of tax, (2) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, (3) preferred stock dividends, (4) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, (5) income tax (expense) benefit, (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 (costs) benefit, net of insurance recoveries, (11) hurricane insurance recoveries, net of costs, (12) impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and restructuring charges, net of insurance recoveries, 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, 2011 and 2010.
