Current report

the impact of inflationary pressure and interest rate volatility;

Current report

the impact of the enactment, amendment or expiration of statutes and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, and potential reductions to Medicare and Medicaid payment rates, changes in reimbursement practices or funding levels, or modification of Medicaid supplemental payment programs;

Current report

Same facility results include operating results only for facilities and services operated in both the current and prior year. These metrics exclude the operating results associated with facilities under operation for less than one year and facilities acquired during the current or prior year, as well as facilities divested or removed from service, and also exclude general and administrative costs related to our corporate functions. Such costs related to our corporate functions include, amongst others, costs for accounting and finance, information systems, human resources, legal and operational and executive leadership. General and administrative costs directly related to the facilities are included in same facility results. Such costs directly related to our facilities include, amongst others, labor at the facility level, insurance, including property, professional, legal and general liability insurance, hospital supplies, including medication, utilities and food service, and general maintenance costs for the facility. We determine which general and administrative costs to exclude and include in same facility results by ensuring those costs directly associated with facility operations are captured at the facility level for reporting.

Current report

We believe that providing results on a same facility basis is helpful to our investors as a measure of our financial and operating performance because it neutralizes the impact of corporate-level items that do not arise out of our core operations at our facilities and because it neutralizes the impact of new facilities that are in early stages of operation and facilities that we no longer operate, each of which may distort investors’ understanding of our underlying performance at our existing and continuing facilities. Further, we believe that providing same facility information is helpful to our investors as a measure of the financial and operating performance of our existing and continuing facilities on a comparable basis, and same facility results metrics provide investors with information useful in understanding underlying organic growth in such facilities. For these reasons, we believe that same facility results are particularly useful during periods of significant expansion or contraction.

Current report

Same facility results reflect adjustments that are intended to provide the specific presentation described above and that may be irregular in timing from period to period related to newly opened or acquired facilities or facilities that we no longer operate, and may omit certain results that investors may view as important. Same facility results may therefore not be indicative of the overall performance of our business and should be not be considered as an alternative for net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Current report

We actively manage our capital structure and regularly evaluate the availability of capital in the public and private markets that could strengthen our long-term financial profile. As such, we may opportunistically engage in financing transactions from time to time when we believe that conditions are favorable. Such transactions may include borrowings under credit facilities, the issuance of debt, equity or hybrid securities, the incurrence of term loans, or the refinancing or extinguishment of existing indebtedness. There can be no assurance any such financing opportunities will be available to us on terms and conditions acceptable to us or at all.

On February 25, 2025, our board of directors authorized the share repurchase program pursuant to which we may, from time to time, acquire up to $300.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses related to such repurchases. Repurchases made pursuant to the share repurchase program will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through block trades, derivatives transactions, or purchases made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The share repurchase program has no termination date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued by our board of directors at any time. The authorization does not obligate us to repurchase any shares.

Current report

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are nearing completion of a syndication and closing process being led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) for the replacement of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility with a new $1.0 billion, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility and a new $650 million, five-year senior secured term loan with JPM, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Replacement Credit Facility”). JPM has provided us with a commitment for its allocated amount under the Replacement Credit Facility, and has received commitments from other lenders for the portion of the Replacement Credit Facility that will not be provided by JPM. While we currently expect to close the Replacement Credit Facility promptly after the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transaction in that timeframe or at all.

Previous report

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, loss on impairment, gain on sale of property, transaction, legal and other costs, interest expense, legal settlements expense and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure performance and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
