Net operating revenues | $5,122 | $5,066 | $15,593 | $15,169 |
Net income available to Tenet common shareholders | $472 | $101 | $2,882 | $367 |
Net income available to Tenet common shareholders per diluted share | $4.89 | $0.94 | $29.27 | $3.41 |
Adjusted EBITDA1 | $978 | $854 | $2,947 | $2,529 |
Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 | $2.93 | $1.44 | $8.47 | $4.30 |
- Net income available to the Company's common shareholders in the third quarter 2024 was $472 million, or $4.89 per diluted share, versus $101 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2024 results included a pre-tax gain of $348 million ($209 million after-tax or $2.16 per diluted share) primarily associated with the sale of the Company's 70% majority ownership interest in Brookwood Baptist Health in Alabama.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 in third quarter 2024 was $978 million compared to $854 million in third quarter 2023, reflecting strong same-hospital admissions growth, strong ambulatory net revenue per case growth, favorable payer mix, and increased Medicaid supplemental revenues in Michigan, partially offset by higher medical fees as well as the impact of hospital divestitures.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
- Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $2.378 billion versus $1.550 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
- The Company produced free cash flow1 of $1.777 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus $1.007 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
- In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 795,112 shares of common stock for $124 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 5,596,573 shares of common stock for $672 million.
- The Company's ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA1 was 2.22x at September 30, 2024 compared to 2.61x at June 30, 2024 and 3.89x at December 31, 2023.
Recent Transaction
- On October 1, 2024, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its 70% majority ownership interest in Brookwood Baptist Health in Birmingham, Alabama to Orlando Health in the third quarter of 2024. The completed transaction included five hospitals and other related operations. Our outlook for full year 2024 net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow1 now reflects the anticipated payment of approximately $175 million of income taxes, primarily in connection with the net gain on the sale of these facilities.

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, 2023 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 fourth quarter and full year 2024 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 2024, 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, 2023 through September 30, 2024. 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.
- For 2024, Outlook for net cash provided by operating activities, Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow include an estimate of approximately $875 million of net income tax payments associated with the gains on sale of the three hospitals and related operations in South Carolina, the six hospitals and related operations in California, and the five hospitals and related operations in Alabama, approximately $175 million of which have already been paid as of September 30, 2024.
- 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.

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 and (12) income (loss) from divested and closed businesses (i.e., health plan businesses). 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) and (7) the associated impact of these items on taxes and noncontrolling interests. 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, and (2) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from discontinued operations.
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.
