Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Tenet) (NYSE: THC) today announced its results for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 (4Q19).

“Our financial results for 2019 support the sustainable changes we have made across each of our operating segments,” said Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We closed the year with a very strong fourth quarter and believe our focus on our patients, our physicians and all stakeholders — supported by underlying enhancements to technology, a renewed dedication to customer service and a keen eye on administrative expenses — are driving our growth and positioning us well for 2020 and future years.”

Tenet's results for 4Q19 versus the quarter ended December 31, 2018 (4Q18) and the year ended December 31, 2019 (FY 2019) versus the year ended December 31, 2018 (FY 2018) were as follows:

The table above as well as tables and discussions throughout this earnings release include certain financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Reconciliations of GAAP measures to the Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures used are detailed in Tables #1-6 included at the end of this earnings release. Management’s reasoning for the use of these non-GAAP measures and descriptions of the various non-GAAP measures are included in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this earnings release.

Results from Continuing Operations Attributable to Tenet Common Shareholders

  • Net income from continuing operations attributable to its common shareholders was $2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 4Q19 versus a net loss from continuing operations of $5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in 4Q18. The $7 million year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher net operating revenues associated with increased patient volumes and the beneficial effect of the Company's continuing cost reduction initiatives.
  • For FY 2019, the net loss from continuing operations attributable to the Company's common shareholders of $243 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, was primarily driven by the $227 million pretax loss, or $2.16 per diluted share, associated with debt refinancings as well as impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs of $185 million, or $1.76 per diluted share. The debt refinancings will reduce future annual cash interest payments and retired all significant debt maturities until April 2022. Net income from continuing operations was $108 million, or $1.04 per diluted share for FY 2018.

Adjusted Results from Continuing Operations Attributable to Tenet Common Shareholders

Reconciliations of net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders to Adjusted net income from continuing operations available to Tenet's common shareholders are contained in Table #1 at the end of this release.

  • Tenet’s 4Q19 Adjusted net income from continuing operations available to its common shareholders rose to $105 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared to $53 million or $0.51 per diluted share, in 4Q18. The $52 million, or 98.1 percent, increase was primarily driven by operational improvements in each of the Company's business segments.
  • For FY 2019, Tenet reported Adjusted net income from continuing operations available to its common shareholders of $281 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to $193 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, in FY 2018 also primarily driven by operational improvements in each of the business segments, partially offset by a $35 million year-over-year increase in expense associated with the change in the U.S. Treasury rate used to discount the Company's actuarial liabilities. FY 2019 results were achieved despite lower-than-anticipated revenue and additional expenses related to Hurricane Dorian and an increase in contract labor costs associated with a strike by union nurses at certain of the Company's hospitals during the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA

Reconciliations of net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA are contained in Table #2 at the end of this release.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $805 million in 4Q19 compared to $684 million in 4Q18, an increase of $121 million, or 17.7 percent. This year-over-year improvement was primarily due to higher patient volumes as well as the beneficial effect of savings associated with the Company's cost reduction initiatives. Changes in the U.S. Treasury rate described above favorably impacted 4Q19 by decreasing malpractice and workers' compensation expense by $6 million in 4Q19 versus increasing that expense by $10 million in 4Q18.
  • For FY 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $2.706 billion compared to $2.560 billion in FY 2018, an increase of $146 million, or 5.7 percent. This growth in Adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by the same factors impacting the 4Q19 year-over-year results noted above, partially offset by a $35 million year-over-year increase in expense associated with the change in the U.S. Treasury rate. Additionally, FY 2019 results were achieved even with the challenges associated with Hurricane Dorian and the increase in contract labor costs described above

Hospital Operations and Other Segment Results

Tenet’s Hospital Operations and other business segment is comprised of acute care and specialty hospitals, ancillary outpatient facilities, freestanding urgent care centers (nearly all which are managed by USPI and operated under the MedPost brand), micro-hospitals and physician practices.

Revenues and Volumes

  • Net operating revenues in the Hospital Operations and other segment were $3.983 billion in 4Q19, up 3.6 percent from $3.843 billion in 4Q18.

  • For FY 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.425 billion compared to $1.411 billion in FY 2018. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.2 percent in both FY 2019 and FY 2018.

Ambulatory Care Segment Results

Tenet’s Ambulatory Care business segment is comprised of the operations of USPI. As of December 31, 2019, USPI had interests in 260 ambulatory surgery centers, 39 urgent care centers (nearly all of which operate under the CareSpot brand), 23 imaging centers and 24 surgical hospitals in 27 states.

Same-facility system-wide revenues and statistical information include the results of many of the facilities in which the Ambulatory Care segment has an investment that are not consolidated by Tenet (of the 346 facilities at December 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.

Revenues and Volumes

  • The Ambulatory Care segment produced net operating revenues of $632 million in 4Q19, an increase of 14.1 percent compared to $554 million in 4Q18.
  • For FY 2019, segment net operating revenues of $2.158 billion increased 3.5 percent compared to $2.085 billion in FY 2018. This year-over-year increase was achieved despite the divestiture of Aspen (the Company's former business in the United Kingdom), which was completed in the third quarter of FY 2018. Aspen generated $117 million of revenues in FY 2018.
  • On a same-facility system-wide basis, revenues increased 6.1 percent in FY 2019, with cases increasing 3.7 percent and revenue per case increasing 2.2 percent. In the surgical business, which represents the majority of segment revenues, same-facility system-wide revenues grew 6.0 percent in FY 2019, with cases up 3.3 percent and revenue per case up 2.6 percent.

Earnings

  • Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $304 million in 4Q19, was up 24.1 percent from $245 million in 4Q18; Adjusted EBITDA less facility-level non-controlling interest (NCI) was $190 million, up 25.8 percent from $151 million in 4Q18.
  • For FY 2019, the segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $895 million in FY 2019, up 13.0 percent from $792 million in FY 2018, or growth of 15.3 percent excluding Aspen's $16 million of Adjusted EBITDA in FY 2018. Adjusted EBITDA less facility-level NCI was $568 million, up 12.7 percent from $504 million in FY 2018, or growth of 16.4 percent excluding Aspen in FY 2018.

As previously announced, the Company anticipates a spin-off of its Conifer segment by the end of the second quarter of 2021. This transaction is expected to both enhance shareholder value and reduce the level of debt on Tenet through a tax-free debt-for-debt exchange.

Revenues

  • During 4Q19, Conifer segment revenues declined 10.8 percent to $332 million, from $372 million in 4Q18, primarily due to client attrition as a result of hospital divestitures by both Tenet and other customers. Revenues from third-party customers declined 14.0 percent to $191 million in 4Q19.
  • During FY 2019, Conifer’s revenues declined 10.5 percent to $1.372 billion, from $1.533 billion in FY 2018 primarily due to the same factor impacting 4Q19 revenues. Revenue from third-party customers declined 15.3 percent to $799 million in FY 2019.

Earnings

  • Conifer generated $94 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q19, up 8.0 percent from $87 million in 4Q18. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 490 basis points to 28.3 percent primarily due to the Company’s continuing cost-reduction initiatives.
  • Conifer generated $386 million of Adjusted EBITDA in FY 2019, up 8.1 percent from $357 million in FY 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 480 basis points to 28.1 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders before (1) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, (2) net loss attributable (income available) to noncontrolling interests, (3) income (loss) from discontinued operations, (4) income tax expense (benefit), (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) other non-operating income (expense), net, (7) interest expense, (8) litigation and investigation (costs) benefits, net of reinsurance 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 and closed businesses. Litigation and investigation costs excluded do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expenses.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations per share, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet common shareholders, divided by the weighted average primary or diluted shares outstanding in the reporting period.
  • Adjusted net income (loss attributable) from continuing operations to Tenet common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders before (1) income (loss) from discontinued operations, (2) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (3) litigation and investigation (costs) benefits, net of reinsurance recoveries, (4) net gains (losses) on sales, consolidation and deconsolidation of facilities, (5) impairment and restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, (6) income (loss) from divested and closed businesses and (7) the associated impact of these items on taxes and noncontrolling interests. Litigation and investigation costs excluded do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expenses.
  • 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 for 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 settlement, and (2) net cash provided (used in) operating activities for 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 use similar non-GAAP financial measures in their presentations and earnings releases. 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.

The Company uses, and believes investors use, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as supplemental non-GAAP measures to analyze cash flows generated from the Company's operations. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors in evaluating its ability to fund distributions paid to noncontrolling interests or for 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 the Company's financial statements, they do not provide a complete measure of the Company's 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.
