Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) (the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, totaled $4.999 billion, a 1.8 percent increase compared with $4.911 billion for the same period in 2015. Income from continuing operations attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders decreased to $12 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $92 million, or $0.79 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2015. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, include $0.13 per share (diluted) related to impairment of long-lived assets and $0.02 per share (diluted) related to expenses from the spin-off of Quorum Health Corporation (“QHC”). Excluding these items, income from continuing operations was $0.27 per share (diluted).
Net income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $0.10 per share (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $0.68 per share (diluted) for the same period in 2015. Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, consisted of $(0.01) per share (diluted) of expenses related to the impairment of long-lived assets held for sale for an after-tax loss of approximately $(1) million. Weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) were 110 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 115 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $633 million compared with $715 million for the same period in 2015, representing an 11.5 percent decrease.
The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, reflect a 2.6 percent decrease in total admissions, and a 0.7 percent increase in total adjusted admissions, compared with the same period in 2015. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 2.0 percent while adjusted admissions increased 1.3 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues increased 2.2 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, loss from early extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, acquisition and integration expenses from the acquisition of Health Management Associates, Inc. (“HMA”), expenses incurred related to the spin-off of QHC, expense related to government legal settlements and related costs, and expense (income) from fair value adjustments related to the HMA legal proceedings, accounted for at fair value, underlying the CVR agreement, and related legal expenses. For information regarding why the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA presents useful information to investors, and for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, see footnote (e) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below.
On April 29, 2016, the Company completed the spin-off of QHC, comprised of 38 affiliated hospitals and related outpatient services in 16 states, together with Quorum Health Resources, LLC, a subsidiary providing management advisory and consulting services to non-affiliated hospitals. Following the spin-off, QHC became an independent public company with its common stock listed for trading under the symbol “QHC” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, “We intend to use the substantial majority of the net proceeds of $1.21 billion from the QHC spin-off to reduce our debt, and we expect other potential divestiture transactions this year will help drive down our debt even further. As we refine our portfolio into what we anticipate will be a more sustainable, higher-margin group of hospitals, our resources and future investments can be targeted into markets where we have the greatest opportunity to achieve performance improvement in our operations and financial results.”
Included on pages 12, 13, 14 and 15 of this press release are tables setting forth the Company’s updated 2016 annual earnings guidance. The 2016 guidance is based on the Company’s historical operating performance, current trends and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at this time, and reflects the impact of the spin-off of QHC and other planned divestitures that the Company expects to occur in 2016.
Community Health Systems, Inc. is one of the largest publicly traded hospital companies in the United States and a leading operator of general acute care hospitals in communities across the country. After giving effect to the spin-off noted above, through its subsidiaries, the Company owns, leases or operates 160 affiliated hospitals in 22 states with an aggregate of nearly 27,000 licensed beds.
The Company’s headquarters are located in Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb south of Nashville. Shares in Community Health Systems, Inc. are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CYH.” More information about the Company can be found on its website at www.chs.net.

Footnotes to Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data
(a) Continuing operating results exclude discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Both financial and statistical results exclude entities in discontinued operations for all periods presented. (b) The contingent value right (“CVR”) entitles the holder to receive a cash payment up to $1.00 per CVR (subject to downward adjustment but not below zero), subject to the final resolution of certain legal matters pertaining to HMA, as defined in the CVR agreement. If the aggregate amount of applicable losses under the CVR agreement exceeds a deductible of $18 million, then the amount payable in respect of each CVR shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the product of (i) all losses in excess of the deductible and (ii) 90%; by (b) the number of CVRs outstanding on the date on which final resolution of the existing litigation occurs. Since the HMA acquisition date of January 27, 2014, approximately $30 million in costs have been incurred and approximately $29 million of settlements have been paid related to certain HMA legal matters, which collectively exceed the deductible of $18 million under the CVR agreement. The Company previously recorded an estimated fair value of the remaining underlying claims that will be covered by the CVR of $284 million as part of the acquisition accounting for HMA, which has been adjusted to its estimated fair value of $261 million at March 31, 2016. In addition, although future legal fees (which are expensed as incurred) associated with the HMA legal matters have not been accrued or included in the table below, such legal fees are taken into account in determining the total amount of reductions applied to the amounts owed to CVR holders. The following table presents the impact of the recorded amounts as described above as applied to the CVR and the $18 million deductible and 10% co-insurance amounts (in millions): As of March 31, 2016 Legal and other related costs incurred to date $ 30 Settlements 29 Estimated liability for probable contingencies - Estimated liability for unresolved contingencies at fair value 261Costs incurred plus certain estimated liabilities for CVR-related matters

$ 273 CVRs outstanding 265 (c) Included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are three smaller hospitals that are being actively marketed for sale. Included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, were several hospitals held for sale at December 31, 2014, that sold during the year ended December 31, 2015. The after-tax loss for the sold or held for sale hospitals, including an impairment charge on certain long-lived assets sold or held for sale, is approximately $1 million and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (d) The following table provides information needed to calculate income per share, which is adjusted for income attributable to noncontrolling interests (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015Income from continuing operations attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders:

(e) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which consists of net 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 exclude discontinued operations, loss from early extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, acquisition and integration expenses from the acquisition of HMA, expenses incurred related to the spin-off of QHC, expense related to government legal settlements and related costs, and expense (income) from fair value adjustments related to the HMA legal proceedings, accounted for at fair value, underlying the CVR agreement, 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 excludes the portion of EBITDA attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors the Company’s portion of EBITDA generated by continuing operations. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. The Company has also presented Adjusted EBITDA in this release because it believes it provides investors with additional information about the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA also aligns with a similar metric as defined in the Company’s senior secured credit facility, which is a key component in the determination of the Company’s compliance with some of the covenants under the Company’s senior secured credit facility, and is used to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the senior secured credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities or any other measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. This calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table reflects the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, from income from continuing operations before income taxes and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as derived directly from the condensed consolidated financial statements (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 63 $ 168 Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization 298 296 Interest expense, net 251 241 Loss from early extinguishment of debt - 8 Impairment of long-lived assets 17 - Expenses related to the acquisition and integration of HMA - 1 Expense from government settlement and related costs - 7Expense (income) from fair value adjustments and legal expenses related to cases covered by the CVR

(j) The $0.04 per share (diluted) of expense for “Government settlement and related costs” for the three months ended March 31, 2015, is the net impact of several qui tam lawsuits settled in principle during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and related legal expenses.Regulation FD Disclosure

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:
The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced for any future periods. The Company cautions that the projections for calendar year 2016 set forth in this press release are given as of the date hereof based on currently available information. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
