Commenting on the results, Tim L. Hingtgen, chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, "Our continued progress in the second quarter included sequential improvements in key operating metrics including patient volumes and net operating revenues, among others. During the quarter, we saw further recovery in the utilization of our healthcare services and we executed key growth and expense management initiatives that are producing strong results for our markets and the Company overall. Other strategic developments are expected to have a positive impact moving forward, including recent investments to modernize our business operations. We are in the process of redesigning numerous workflows that will further standardize and centralize key business functions across our organization, which we are referring to as Project Empower. As part of Project Empower, we are nearing the launch of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform which will enable us to leverage this new way of doing business as we streamline and enhance many business support services.”

Net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders was $(38) million, or $(0.29) per share (diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $(326) million, or $(2.52) per share (diluted), for the same period in 2022. Excluding the adjusting items as presented in the table in footnote (e) on page 15, net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders was $(0.22) per share (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $(2.52) per share (diluted) for the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, pandemic relief funds did not materially impact net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, pandemic relief funds had a positive impact on net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders (both on a consolidated and adjusted basis) of approximately $6 million, or $0.05 on a per share (diluted) basis.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $373 million compared to $253 million for the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, pandemic relief funds did not materially impact Adjusted EBITDA. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, pandemic relief funds had a positive impact on Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $8 million.

 

The decrease in net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders and increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to higher inpatient and outpatient volumes, increased reimbursement rates, higher acuity, an increase in non-patient revenue, and lower costs for contract labor, partially offset by higher costs for professional liability insurance and increased rates for outsourced medical specialists.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $6.223 billion, a 3.0 percent increase compared to $6.044 billion for the same period in 2022. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues increased 5.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Net operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflect a 1.0 percent increase in admissions and a 3.4 percent increase in adjusted admissions, compared to the same period in 2022. On a same-store basis, admissions increased 4.8 percent and adjusted admissions increased 7.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

 

Net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders was $(89) million, or $(0.68) per share (diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $(327) million, or $(2.54) per share (diluted), for the same period in 2022. Excluding the adjusting items as presented in the table in footnote (e) on page 15, net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders was $(0.65) per share (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $(2.40) per share (diluted) for the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, pandemic relief funds did not materially impact net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, pandemic relief funds had a positive impact on net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders (both on a consolidated and adjusted basis) of approximately $41 million, or $0.32 on a per share (diluted) basis.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $707 million compared to $662 million for the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, pandemic relief funds did not materially impact Adjusted EBITDA. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, pandemic relief funds had a positive impact on Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $55 million.

 

The decrease in net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders and increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to stronger inpatient and outpatient volumes, increased reimbursement rates, higher acuity, an increase in non-patient revenue, and reduced expense for contract labor, partially offset by unfavorable changes in payor mix, a reduction in pandemic relief funds recognized, increased salaries and benefits expense, higher costs for professional liability insurance, and increased rates for outsourced medical specialists.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which consists of net income (loss) attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, is EBITDA adjusted to add back net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude loss (gain) from early extinguishment of debt, impairment and (gain) loss on sale of businesses, expense from third-party consulting costs associated with significant process and systems redesign across multiple functions (the “Business Transformation Costs”) as part of the Company’s multi-year initiative to modernize and consolidate technology platforms and associated processes, gain on sale of equity interests in Macon Healthcare, LLC, expense related to government and other legal matters and related costs, income during the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with the settlement of litigation for the recovery of amounts of certain professional liability claims settled in 2020 covered by third-party insurance policies, expense related to employee termination benefits and other restructuring charges, the impact of a change in estimate to increase the professional liability claims accrual recorded during the fourth quarter of 2022 with respect to claims incurred in prior years related to divested locations and the gain on sale by HealthTrust of a majority interest in CoreTrust completed during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur expenses, including but not limited to the Business Transformation Costs, associated with the Company’s multi-year, transformative initiative to modernize and consolidate its technology platforms and associated processes, including the implementation of a core enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system and the redesign of associated processes. The Company has included the Business Transformation Costs as an adjustment in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as a result of the fact that such costs are discrete third-party consulting costs associated with this multi-year technology initiative, which costs will not continue once this initiative has been completed. The Company believes that the Business Transformation Costs are not reflective of the Company’s underlying results of operations and that adjusting for the Business Transformation Costs is consistent with the intended purpose of Adjusted EBITDA in assessing the Company’s operational performance and enhancing comparability of the Company’s operational performance between periods. The Company has from time to time sold noncontrolling interests in certain of its subsidiaries or acquired subsidiaries with existing noncontrolling interest ownership positions. The Company believes that it is useful to present Adjusted EBITDA because it adds back the portion of EBITDA attributable to these third-party interests. The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company’s hospital operations and to make decisions on the allocation of resources. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s executive management team and is one of the primary metrics used in connection with determining short-term cash incentive compensation and the achievement of vesting criteria with respect to performance-based equity awards. In addition, management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in assessing the Company’s consolidated results of operations and operational performance and in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods.

Footnotes to Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data (Continued)

The Company believes it is useful to provide investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements this performance measure to align with how management assesses the Company’s results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA also is comparable to a similar metric called Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) and the Company’s existing note indentures, which is a key component in the determination of the Company’s compliance with certain covenants under the ABL Facility and such note indentures (including the Company’s ability to service debt and incur capital expenditures), and is used to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the ABL Facility (although Adjusted EBITDA does not include all of the adjustments described in the ABL Facility). Adjusted EBITDA includes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to hospitals that were divested during the course of such year, but in each case solely to the extent relating to the period prior to the consummation of the applicable divestiture.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance. The Company believes such adjustments are appropriate as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Additionally, this calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders as derived directly from the condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions):

The Company generated a net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders for each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, so the effect of dilutive securities is not considered because their effect would be antidilutive. If the Company had generated net income, the effect of stock awards and options on the diluted shares calculation would have been an increase of 202,182 shares and 1,152,737 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 335,188 shares and 1,675,586 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following supplemental table reconciles net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders, as reported, on a per share (diluted) basis, to net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted) with the adjustments described herein (total per share amounts may not add due to rounding). The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted) presents useful information to investors by highlighting the impact on net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted) of selected items used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA which may not reflect the Company’s underlying operating performance and assisting in comparing the Company’s results of operations between periods.

Both income from operations and net income (loss) included a net non-cash income of $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and a net non-cash income of $35 million and expense of $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily from gains on the sale of certain businesses during such periods and also impairment charges to reduce the value of certain long-lived assets at businesses the Company identified for closure, sale or sold. These impairment charges do not have an impact on the calculation of the Company’s financial covenants under the ABL Facility.
(g)
The maximum aggregate principal amount under the ABL Facility is $1.0 billion, subject to borrowing base capacity. At June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $150 million and approximately $764 million of additional borrowing capacity (after taking into consideration $85 million of outstanding letters of credit) under the ABL Facility.
