Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Tenet) (NYSE:THC) today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"We delivered strong results in both the Ambulatory and Hospital segments in the first quarter of 2026, characterized by disciplined operations and strong free cash flow," said Saum Sutaria, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tenet. "We continue to support our physician partners to drive innovation in patient care as we execute on our high acuity strategy and grow our businesses both organically and inorganically."

Tenet's results for first quarter 2026 versus first quarter 2025 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in millions, except per share results)	2026	2025
Net operating revenues⁷	$5,368	$5,223
Net income available to Tenet common shareholders	$702	$406
Net income available to Tenet common shareholders per diluted share	$8.01	$4.27
Adjusted EBITDA¹	$1,162	$1,163
Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹	$4.82	$4.36

Net income available to the Company's common shareholders in first quarter 2026 was $702 million, or $8.01 per diluted share, versus $406 million, or $4.27 per diluted share, in first quarter 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ in first quarter 2026 was $1.162 billion compared to $1.163 billion in first quarter 2025, reflecting strong growth in same facility revenue and disciplined expense management offset by unfavorable payer mix due to lower exchange admissions.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized an approximate $40 million favorable non-recurring pre-tax impact associated with the recognition of previously deferred revenue, and $413 million of revenue ($314 million after-tax) from early contract conclusion, both in connection with the recently announced agreement with CommonSpirit Health. First quarter 2025 results included a $40 million favorable pre-tax impact for additional Medicaid supplemental revenues related to prior years. First quarter 2026 results did not include favorable impacts for additional Medicaid supplemental revenues related to prior years.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $1.641 billion versus $815 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company produced adjusted free cash flow¹ of $978 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus $678 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.35 million shares of common stock for $318 million.
The Company's ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA¹ was 2.24x at March 31, 2026 compared to 2.25x at December 31, 2025.

Recent Transaction

On January 27, 2026, we entered into an agreement with CommonSpirit Health ("CommonSpirit") relating to Conifer Health Solutions, LLC ("Conifer") whereby the parties agreed to the following terms: (i) Payments related to the early conclusion of the contract totaling $1.9 billion from CommonSpirit to Tenet in annual installments over the next three years (of such amount $540 million was satisfied on January 27, 2026), and in addition (ii) the reduction of Tenet's redeemable non-controlling interest of $846 million and an increase to Tenet's additional paid in capital of $306 million (associated with the redemption by Conifer of CommonSpirit's minority equity interest in Conifer), in exchange for a payment by Conifer of $540 million.
The redemption was retroactively effective January 1, 2026 and the $540 million payment was satisfied on January 27, 2026 by offsetting the $540 million due to Conifer by CommonSpirit as described above. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, this transaction also resulted in a non-recurring favorable adjustment to net operating revenues of approximately $40 million and $413 million of revenue ($314 million after-tax) from early conclusion of the contract.

Ambulatory Care (Ambulatory) Segment

Tenet's Ambulatory business segment is comprised of the operations of United Surgical Partners International (USPI). As of March 31, 2026, USPI had interests in 541 ambulatory surgery centers (407 consolidated) and 26 surgical hospitals (eight consolidated) in 37 states.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
*Ambulatory segment results* ($ in millions)	2026	2025

Adjusted EBITDA, Margins and NCI
Adjusted EBITDA	$484	$456
Adjusted EBITDA margin	36.7%	38.2%
Adjusted EBITDA less NCI	$291	$279

First quarter 2026 net operating revenues increased 10.6% compared to first quarter 2025 driven by strong growth in consolidated same-facility net patient service revenues, acquisitions of facilities, and increased service lines.
Surgical business same-facility system-wide net patient service revenues increased 5.3% in first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025, with cases down 0.3% and net revenue per case up 5.6%. Net revenue per case growth was driven by higher acuity and favorable service mix.
First quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.1% compared to first quarter 2025, due to strong growth in same-facility net patient service revenues, disciplined expense management, and contributions from acquisitions.

Hospital Operations and Services (Hospital) Segment

Tenet's Hospital business segment is primarily comprised of acute care and specialty hospitals, imaging centers, ancillary outpatient facilities, micro-hospitals and physician practices. It also provides comprehensive end-to-end and focused point services, including hospital and physician revenue cycle management, patient communications and engagement support and value-based care solutions.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
*Hospital segment results* ($ in millions)	2026	2025
Revenues
Net operating revenues⁷	$4,048	$4,029
Same-hospital net patient service revenues³	$3,458	$3,491

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA	$678	$707
Adjusted EBITDA margin	16.7%	17.5%

First quarter 2026 net operating revenues increased 0.5% from first quarter 2025 due to an increase in adjusted admissions offset by unfavorable payer mix due to lower exchange admissions.
Same-hospital net patient service revenue per adjusted admission decreased 1.5% year-over-year for first quarter 2026 primarily due to the absence of a $40 million favorable pre-tax impact for additional Medicaid supplemental revenues related to prior years recorded in first quarter 2025 and unfavorable payer mix related to lower exchange admissions. First quarter 2026 results did not include favorable impacts for additional Medicaid supplemental revenues related to prior years.
Adjusted EBITDA in first quarter 2026 was $678 million compared to $707 million in first quarter 2025, reflecting the same dynamics as above, partially offset by expense efficiencies.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company recognized an approximate $40 million favorable non-recurring pre-tax impact associated with the recognition of previously deferred revenue in connection with the recently announced agreement with CommonSpirit Health. This impact is not reflected in same-hospital net patient service revenue.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains "forward-looking statements" - that is, statements that relate to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address the Company's expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "budget," "estimate," "forecast," "intend," "plan," "predict," "project," "seek," "see," "target," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the factors disclosed under "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Footnotes

Tables and discussions throughout this earnings release include certain financial measures, including those related to our full year 2026 Outlook, that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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.
Same-facility system-wide revenues and statistical information include the results of the facilities in which the Ambulatory segment has an investment that are not consolidated by Tenet. 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.
For 2026, same-hospital revenues and statistical data include those for hospitals and hospital-affiliated outpatient centers operated by the Company's Hospital segment continuously from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. Amounts associated with physician practices are excluded.
Adjusted admissions represent actual patient admissions adjusted to include outpatient services provided by facilities in our Hospital segment by multiplying actual patient admissions by the sum of gross inpatient revenues and outpatient revenues, then dividing that result by gross inpatient revenues.
Income tax expense is calculated by multiplying 24% (the federal corporate tax rate of 21% plus an estimate of state taxes) by the sum of: pretax income less GAAP facility level NCI expense plus permanent differences, and non-deductible interest expense.
Change versus prior year is presented on a same-facility system-wide basis for USPI Ambulatory surgical cases and on a same-hospital basis for hospital statistics.
Revenue recognized from the early conclusion of the CommonSpirit contract is not included in net operating revenues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company believes the non-GAAP measures described below 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.

Adjusted EBITDA 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, net of tax, (4) income tax benefit (expense), (5) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (6) other non-operating income (expense), net, (7) interest expense, (8) litigation and investigation benefit (costs), net of insurance 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, (12) income (loss) from divested and closed businesses (i.e., health plan businesses) and (13) revenue from contract termination. Revenue from contract termination represents the present value of the $1.9 billion of consideration related to the early termination of Conifer's revenue cycle services agreement with CommonSpirit (as further described in the Company's Form 8-K dated February 2, 2026), net of amortization of an associated contract asset. 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 is defined by the Company as Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders, divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the reporting period.
Adjusted net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders is defined by the Company as net income available (loss attributable) to Tenet common shareholders before (1) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, (2) gain (loss) from early extinguishment of debt, (3) litigation and investigation benefit (costs), net of insurance 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 (i.e., health plan businesses), (7) revenue from contract termination and (8) the associated impact of these items on taxes and noncontrolling interests. Revenue from contract termination represents the present value of the $1.9 billion of consideration related to the early termination of Conifer's revenue cycle services agreement with CommonSpirit (as further described in the Company's Form 8-K dated February 2, 2026), net of amortization of an associated contract asset. Litigation and investigation costs excluded do not include ordinary course of business malpractice and other litigation and related expenses.
Free Cash Flow is defined by the Company as (1) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less (2) purchases of property and equipment.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined by the Company as (1) Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less (2) purchases of property and equipment.
Adjusted net cash provided by (used in) operating activities 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 settlements, (2) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from discontinued operations and (3) cash received for contract termination defined above.

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, or (ii) distributions paid to noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating the Company's financial performance.

See corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures in Tables #1 - 6 below.

The figures shown represent the Company's estimate for restructuring charges plus the actual year-to-date results for impairment and restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, and litigation costs and settlements. The Company does not generally forecast impairment charges, acquisition-related costs, and litigation costs and settlements because it does not believe that it can forecast these items with sufficient accuracy since some of these items are indeterminable at the time the Company provides its financial Outlook.
