Commenting on the results, Tim L. Hingtgen, chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, “Our results in the second quarter were affected by challenging operating dynamics that included lower than anticipated volume, lower net revenue per adjusted admission, and significant contract labor costs driven by labor market and inflationary pressures. We have initiatives underway intended to actively address these pressures by accelerating strategic growth opportunities in key markets, aggressively working to recruit and retain permanent staff to replace contract labor, achieving incremental expense reductions, and leveraging our centralized resources to achieve improved results. Over the past several quarters, we have made strategic investments in our markets, and we continue to believe we are well-positioned to meet healthcare demand and take market share as patient volumes return. We are committed to intense operational execution, and we remain confident that our strategies will deliver long-term growth and value.”

The Company completed the divestiture of one hospital on July 1, 2022 (in respect of which the Company received proceeds at a preliminary closing on June 30, 2022). Financial and statistical data for 2022 and 2021 presented in this press release includes the operating results of divested or closed businesses for the periods prior to the consummation of the respective divestiture or closing. Same-store operating results exclude businesses divested or closed in 2021 and one hospital opened in 2022.

Information About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which 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, gain on sale of equity interests in Macon Healthcare, LLC, expense incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the settlement of certain professional liability claims for which the third-party insurers’ obligation to insure the Company against the underlying loss was being litigated along with income during the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with the settlement of such litigation for the recovery of amounts covered by such third-party insurance policies, expense related to employee termination benefits and other restructuring charges, and expense from settlement and fair value adjustments on the contingent value right agreement liability related to the Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”) legal proceedings and related legal expenses. For information regarding why the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors, and for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders, see footnote (c) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below. Additionally, this press release presents adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted), a non-GAAP financial measure, to reflect the impact on net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted) from the selected items used in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. For information regarding why the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors, and for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted), see footnote (e) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below.

The non-GAAP financial measures set forth above are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Both financial and statistical results include the operating results of divested or closed businesses for the periods prior to the consummation of the respective divestiture or closing. Same-store operating results and statistical information exclude businesses divested or closed in 2021 and one hospital opened in 2022. There were no discontinued operations reported for 2022 and 2021.

(c)

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which consists of net (loss) income 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, gain on sale of equity interests in Macon Healthcare, LLC, expense incurred in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the settlement of certain professional liability claims for which the third-party insurers’ obligation to insure the Company against the underlying loss was being litigated along with income during the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with the settlement of such litigation for the recovery of amounts covered by such third-party insurance policies, expense related to employee termination benefits and other restructuring charges, and expense from settlement and fair value adjustments on the contingent value right agreement liability related to the HMA legal proceedings and related legal expenses. 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. 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 (loss) 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) income 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 both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, 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 1,152,737 shares and 1,675,586 shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 2,967,814 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the effect of stock awards and options on the diluted shares calculation was an increase of 3,667,872 shares.

The following supplemental table reconciles net (loss) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders, as reported, on a per share (diluted) basis, to net (loss) income 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) income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders per share (diluted) presents useful information to investors by highlighting the impact on net (loss) income 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 (loss) income included a net non-cash expense of $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and $6 million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily from impairment charges to reduce the value of certain long-lived assets at businesses the Company identified for sale or sold and gains on the sale of certain businesses during such periods. These impairment charges do not have an impact on the calculation of the Company’s financial covenants under the ABL Facility. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

(g)

The maximum aggregate principal amount under the ABL Facility is $1.0 billion. At June 30, 2022, the available borrowing base under the ABL Facility was $978 million, of which $84 million is reserved for outstanding letters of credit and $894 million represents excess availability. The Company had no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2022.

Regulation FD Disclosure

Set forth below is selected information concerning the Company’s projected consolidated operating results for the year ending December 31, 2022. These projections update selected guidance provided on April 27, 2022, and are based on the Company’s historical operating performance, current trends and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at this time. The 2022 guidance should be considered in conjunction with the assumptions included herein. See pages 17, 18 and 19 for a list of factors that could affect the future results of the Company or the healthcare industry generally.

The following is provided as guidance to analysts and investors:

The following assumptions were used in developing the 2022 guidance provided above:

  • The Company’s projections exclude the following:
    • Effect of debt refinancing activities, including gains and losses from early extinguishment of debt;
    • Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets;
    • Previously recorded pandemic relief funds and the potential recognition of additional pandemic relief funds;
    • The impact of any potential future divestitures;
    • Gains or losses from the sales of businesses;
    • Employee termination benefits and restructuring costs;
    • Resolution of government investigations or other significant legal settlements;
    • Costs incurred in connection with divestitures; and
    • Other significant gains or losses that neither relate to the ordinary course of business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance.

Other assumptions used in the above guidance:

  • Expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues, depreciation and amortization of approximately 4.2% for 2022. Additionally, this is a fixed cost and the percentages may vary based on changes in net operating revenues. Such amounts exclude the possible impact of any future hospital fixed asset impairments.
  • Interest expense is estimated to be between $855 million and $875 million while cash paid for interest, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs, is expected to be $820 million to $840 million. Total fixed rate debt is expected to average approximately 100% of total debt during 2022.
  • Expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of approximately 0.9% to 1.0% for 2022.
  • Expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues, provision for income taxes of approximately 0.9% to 1.0% for 2022.

A reconciliation of the Company’s projected 2022 Adjusted EBITDA, a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, to the Company’s projected net loss attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is shown below (in millions):

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risk and uncertainties. All statements in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding projections, expected operating results, and other events that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “thinks,” and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and may be beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot give any assurance that its expectations will in fact occur and cautions that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could affect the future results of the Company or the healthcare industry generally and could cause the Company’s expected results to differ materially from those expressed in this press release.

These factors include, among other things:

  • developments related to COVID-19, including, without limitation, related to the length and severity of the pandemic; the volume of canceled or rescheduled procedures; and the spread of potentially more contagious and/or virulent forms of the virus, including variants of the virus for which currently available vaccines, treatments and tests may not be effective or authorized;
  • uncertainty regarding the magnitude and timing of any future payments or benefits we may receive or realize under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPPHCE Act”), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “CAA”), the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARPA”) and any other future stimulus measures related to COVID-19;
  • general economic and business conditions, both nationally and in the regions in which we operate, including inflationary pressures that have significantly increased and may continue to significantly increase our expenses, the extremely competitive labor market and labor shortages, and supply chain shortages and disruptions, as well as the current and/or potential future adverse impact of such economic conditions and other factors on our net operating revenues (including our service mix, revenue mix, payor mix and/or patient volumes) and our ability to collect outstanding receivables;
  • the impact of current or future federal and state health reform initiatives, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”), and the potential for changes to the Affordable Care Act, its implementation or its interpretation (including through executive orders and court challenges);
  • the extent to and manner in which states support increases, decreases or changes in Medicaid programs, implement health insurance exchanges or alter the provision of healthcare to state residents through legislation, regulation or otherwise;
  • the future and long-term viability of health insurance exchanges and potential changes to the beneficiary enrollment process;
  • risks associated with our substantial indebtedness, leverage and debt service obligations, including our ability to refinance such indebtedness on acceptable terms or to incur additional indebtedness, and our ability to remain in compliance with debt covenants;
  • demographic changes;
  • changes in, or the failure to comply with, federal, state or local laws or governmental regulations affecting our business, including any such laws or governmental regulations which are adopted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • potential adverse impact of known and unknown legal, regulatory and governmental proceedings and other loss contingencies, including governmental investigations and audits, and federal and state false claims act litigation;
  • our ability, where appropriate, to enter into and maintain provider arrangements with payors and the terms of these arrangements, which may be further affected by the increasing consolidation of health insurers and managed care companies and vertical integration efforts involving payors and healthcare providers;
  • changes in, or the failure to comply with, contract terms with payors and changes in reimbursement policies or rates paid by federal or state healthcare programs or commercial payors;
  • any security breaches, cyber-attacks, loss of data, other cybersecurity threats or incidents, and any actual or perceived failures to comply with legal requirements governing the privacy and security of health information or other regulated, sensitive or confidential information, or legal requirements regarding data privacy or data protection;
  • any potential impairments in the carrying value of goodwill, other intangible assets, or other long-lived assets, or changes in the useful lives of other intangible assets;
  • changes in inpatient or outpatient Medicare and Medicaid payment levels and methodologies;
  • the effects related to the implementation of the sequestration spending reductions pursuant to both the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 and the potential for future deficit reduction legislation;
  • increases in the amount and risk of collectability of patient accounts receivable, including decreases in collectability which may result from, among other things, self-pay growth and difficulties in recovering payments for which patients are responsible, including co-pays and deductibles;
  • the efforts of insurers, healthcare providers, large employer groups and others to contain healthcare costs, including the trend toward value-based purchasing;
  • the impact of competitive labor market conditions and the shortage of experienced nurses, including in connection with our ability to hire and retain qualified nurses, physicians, other medical personnel and key management, and increased labor expenses as a result of such competitive labor market conditions, inflation and competition for such positions;
  • any failure to obtain medical supplies or pharmaceuticals at favorable prices;
  • liabilities and other claims asserted against us, including self-insured malpractice claims;
  • competition;
  • trends toward treatment of patients in less acute or specialty healthcare settings, including ambulatory surgery centers or specialty hospitals or via telehealth;
  • changes in medical or other technology;
  • changes in U.S. GAAP;
  • the availability and terms of capital to fund any additional acquisitions or replacement facilities or other capital expenditures;
  • our ability to successfully make acquisitions or complete divestitures, our ability to complete any such acquisitions or divestitures on desired terms or at all, the timing of the completion of any such acquisitions or divestitures, and our ability to realize the intended benefits from any such acquisitions or divestitures;
  • the impact that changes in our relationships with joint venture or syndication partners could have on effectively operating our hospitals or ancillary services or in advancing strategic opportunities;
  • our ability to successfully integrate any acquired hospitals and/or outpatient facilities, or to recognize expected synergies from acquisitions;
  • the impact of seasonal severe weather conditions and climate change, as well as the timing and amount of insurance recoveries in relation to severe weather events;
  • our ability to obtain adequate levels of insurance, including cyber, general liability, professional liability, and directors and officers liability insurance;
  • timeliness of reimbursement payments received under government programs;
  • effects related to pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of infectious diseases, including the coronavirus causing the disease known as COVID-19;
