Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of our goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.
• Under current law, and based on our current expectations, we estimate that, commencing with the 2028 state fiscal years, our aggregate annual net benefit will be reduced, on an annually increasing and relatively pro rata basis, by approximately $500 million by 2032.
• All of these factors could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations and may be expected to reduce our revenue and likely increase the level of uncompensated care provided by our facilities.
• The extent of any future impacts from inflation on our business and our results of operations will be dependent upon how long the elevated inflation levels persist and the extent to which the rate of inflation further increases, if at all, neither of which we are able to predict.
• If elevated levels of inflation were to persist or if the rate of inflation were to accelerate, our expenses could increase faster than anticipated and we may utilize our capital resources sooner than expected.
• While we continue to evaluate the potential impact of new tariffs on our business, given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of any new tariffs, as well as the potential for additional tariffs or trade barriers by the U.S. and the impacted foreign countries, we can provide no assurance that any strategies we implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful.
• We cannot predict whether or not there will be future appropriations legislation avoiding a federal government shutdown, however, our operating cash flows and results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted by a federal government shutdown.
• our ability to achieve operating and financial targets, develop and execute plans to offset to the extent possible impacts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the expiration of EPTCs, other legal and regulatory changes, and tariffs, attain expected levels of patient volumes and revenues, and control the costs of providing services.
• service providers, if applicable, will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future or that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all the costs resulting from such events.
• the availability of suitable acquisition and divestiture opportunities and our ability to successfully integrate and improve our acquisitions since failure to achieve expected acquisition benefits from certain of our prior or future acquisitions could result in impairment charges for goodwill and purchased intangibles.
• We cannot predict whether Congress will restructure the implemented Medicare payment reductions or what other federal budget deficit reduction initiatives may be proposed by Congress going forward.
• As these provisions become effective over the next several years, they may be expected to reduce our revenues and likely further increase the level of uncompensated care provided by our facilities.
