Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Fourth quarter 2025 results met updated expectations, with sequential margin expansion, improved payer mix, and cost controls, but net operating revenues declined 4.9% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.7% in Q4 2025.
Full-year 2025 net operating revenues were $12.485 billion, down 1.2% year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA was $1.526 billion, down 0.9% year-over-year.
Net income attributable to stockholders in Q4 2025 was $110 million ($0.81 per diluted share), with full-year net income of $509 million ($3.77 per share), both improved from prior year losses.
Divestitures in 2025 and early 2026 streamlined the portfolio, reduced leverage, and enabled reinvestment in growth and debt reduction.
Leadership transition completed, with new CEO and CFO focused on quality, experience, satisfaction, and cash flow growth.
Financial highlights
Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 was $395 million (12.7% margin), slightly up year-over-year after adjusting for divestitures and one-time items.
Q4 2025 net operating revenues were $3.106 billion; same-store net revenue for Q4 increased 2.1% year-over-year, driven by a 2.4% rise in net revenue per adjusted admission.
Cash flows from operations were $266 million in Q4 and $543 million for the full year; adjusted for divestiture taxes, full-year operating cash flow was $712 million.
Adjusted free cash flow for 2025 was $150 million.
Net income benefited from a net gain on sale of businesses in Q4 2025.
Outlook and guidance
2026 guidance: net revenue of $11.6–$12.0 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $1.34–$1.49 billion, operating cash flow of $600–$700 million, and capital expenditures of $350–$400 million.
Net loss per share (diluted) expected between $(0.60) and $0.00 for 2026.
Guidance reflects impact of completed and pending divestitures, and excludes one-time 2025 items and potential new state payment programs.
Core operations expected to grow about 4% off the adjusted 2025 base, net of a $20–$30 million EBITDA impact from reduced health insurance exchange (HIX) enrollment.
An extra payroll period in 2026 will create a $140 million headwind to operating cash flow.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
