Financial performance and earnings trends
Sequential EBITDA in acute care declined by $45 million in Q4, mainly due to non-recurring items and lower supplemental payments, but underlying performance was relatively flat after adjustments.
Acute care volumes were higher sequentially, but softer than planned, impacting typical seasonal uplift.
Unrealized gain from Hippocratic AI investment increased its value from $20 million to $110 million, recognized in Q4 P&L.
Malpractice reserves increased by $45 million in 2025, with ongoing actuarial reviews and guidance for higher-than-inflation expense growth in 2026.
Leverage ratio remains low (1.7–1.8), with ongoing active share repurchases and flexibility for M&A or capital deployment.
Volume and growth outlook
Guidance for 2026 includes 2%-3% adjusted admissions growth in acute and behavioral segments.
Behavioral segment FTEs grew over 4% in 2025, positioning for volume growth as staffing constraints ease.
Outpatient behavioral volumes are expected to outpace inpatient, with investments in new facilities and incentives for outpatient growth.
Acute care contract pricing is moderating to 3%-4% increases, after a period of higher post-COVID rates.
Regulatory and reimbursement environment
Estimated $75 million impact from APTC expiration, with 25%-30% of exchange patients expected to lose coverage, mostly becoming uninsured.
Florida state-directed payment program could provide $45–$50 million benefit if approved; California program faces significant CMS objections and uncertainty.
California staffing regulations for behavioral hospitals postponed to June 1, with preparations underway and negative impact included in guidance.

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.
