Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: MD), a leading provider of physician services, today reported earnings of $0.23 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.44.
For the 2024 third quarter, Pediatrix reported the following results:
“Our third quarter operating results modestly exceeded our expectations, driven primarily by strength in same-unit revenue,” said James D. Swift, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Pediatrix Medical Group. “During the quarter, we successfully completed our previously announced transition to a hybrid revenue cycle management structure, and we remain on track to complete our portfolio management plans by the end of 2024. We believe that a more focused portfolio, with enhanced support for our affiliated practices, will enable stronger financial performance and benefit all of our stakeholders.”
Operating Results– Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Pediatrix’s net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $511.2 million, compared to $506.6 million for the prior-year period. This increase reflected growth in same-unit revenue of 5.2 percent, partially offset by the impact of non-same unit activity, primarily practice dispositions.
Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors increased by 3.4 percent for the 2024 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects improved payor mix and modest improvements in hospital contract administrative fees. The percentage of services reimbursed by commercial and other non-government payors increased by approximately 250 basis points compared to the prior year period.
Same-unit revenue attributable to patient volume increased by 1.8 percent for the 2024 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period. Shown below are year-over-year percentage changes in certain same-unit volume statistics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. (Note: figures in the below table reflect contributions only to net patient service revenue and exclude other contributions to total same-unit revenue, including contract and administrative fees.)

For the 2024 third quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $364.9 million, compared to $368.4 million for the prior-year period. This comparison primarily reflects the impact of practice disposition activity and a decrease in same-unit medical malpractice expense, partially offset by increases in same-unit clinical compensation costs, including incentive compensation based on practice results.
For the 2024 third quarter, general and administrative expenses were $58.1 million, as compared to $57.4 million for the prior-year period. This comparison primarily reflects higher incentive compensation based on financial results and increased internal staffing as part of the Company’s development of its hybrid revenue cycle management structure, largely offset by net staffing reductions.
For 2024 third quarter, transformational and restructuring related expenses totaled $18.6 million. These expenses related primarily to revenue cycle management transition activities and practice dispositions.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transformational and restructuring related expenses, and loss on disposal of businesses, was $60.2 million for the 2024 third quarter, compared to $50.4 million for the prior-year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $9.2 million for the prior-year period. This comparison was primarily related to a decrease in depreciation expense related to non-same unit activity, primarily practice dispositions.
Interest expense was $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2023.
Pediatrix generated net income of $19.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the 2024 third quarter, based on a weighted average 84.5 million shares outstanding. This compares with net income of $21.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the 2023 third quarter, based on a weighted average 83.0 million shares outstanding.
For the third quarter of 2024, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.44, compared to $0.32 for the third quarter of 2023. For these periods, Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted income per common and common equivalent share excluding non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, transformational and restructuring related expenses, loss on disposal of businesses, tax effects of goodwill impairment and discrete tax events.
Operating Results – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Pediatrix generated revenue of $1.51 billion, compared to $1.50 billion for the prior-year period. Pediatrix generated a net loss of $129.5 million, or $1.56 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on a weighted average 83.2 million shares outstanding, which compares to income of $63.9 million, or $0.77 per share, based on a weighted average 82.5 million shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $155.3 million, compared to $149.6 million for the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.99, compared to $0.94 in the same period of 2023.

For the third quarter of 2024, Pediatrix generated cash from continuing operations of $95.7 million, compared to $81.1 million during the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company used $6.3 million to fund capital expenditures.
At September 30, 2024, Pediatrix had total debt outstanding of $619 million, consisting of its $400 million in 5.375% Senior Notes due 2030 and $219 million in borrowings under its Term A Loan. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $450 million revolving line of credit.
Portfolio Management Update
As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2024, Pediatrix formalized its practice portfolio management plans, resulting in a decision to exit almost all of its affiliated office-based practices, other than maternal-fetal medicine, and during and subsequent to the end of the 2024 second quarter, the Company completed the exit of its primary and urgent care service line through two separate transactions. In aggregate, the office-based practices that the Company intends to exit and the primary and urgent care clinics that have been divested contributed net revenue of approximately $200 million in 2023. As previously disclosed, Pediatrix expects that the annualized favorable impact to Adjusted EBITDA resulting from its portfolio management plans to be approximately $30 million, based on 2023 financial information.
The Company continues to expect to complete these exits prior to the end of 2024.
2024 Outlook
Pediatrix anticipates that its 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, will be in a range of $205 million to $215 million. This outlook reflects Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2024 of $155.3 million.
Non-GAAP Measures
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is provided in the financial tables of this press release.
