The Legislation and its implementation have been, and remain, politically controversial. While attempts to repeal the entirety of the Legislation have not been successful to date, a key provision of the Legislation was repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and on December 14, 2018, a Texas Federal District Court Judge declared the Legislation unconstitutional, reasoning that the individual mandate tax penalty was essential to and not severable from the remainder of the Legislation. The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court which ultimately held in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Legislation’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage, or the individual mandate. The Court dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Legislation. On September 7, 2022, the same Texas Federal District Court judge, in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra, ruled that the requirement that certain health plans cover services with an “A” or “B” recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force without cost sharing violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution and that the coverage of certain HIV prevention medication violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

The nationwide shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel has been a significant operating issue facing us and other healthcare providers. In particular, like others in the healthcare industry, we experienced a shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel at our acute care and behavioral health care hospitals in many geographic areas which was exacerbated by the COVID‑19 pandemic. In some areas, the increased demand for care during the COVID-19 pandemic put a strain on our resources and staff, which required us to utilize higher‑cost temporary labor and pay premiums above standard compensation for essential workers. Personnel shortages may require us to further enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel or require us to hire expensive temporary personnel. To the extent we cannot maintain sufficient staffing levels at our hospitals, we may be required to limit the acute and behavioral health care services provided at certain of our hospitals which would have a corresponding adverse effect on our net revenues. In addition, in some markets such as California, there are requirements to maintain specified nurse-staffing levels which could adversely affect our net revenues to the extent we cannot meet those levels. If these states increase mandatory nurse-staffing ratios or additional states in which we operate adopt mandatory nurse-staffing ratios, such changes could significantly affect labor costs and have an adverse impact on revenues if we are required to limit admissions in order to meet the required ratios.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from third-party payers, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. ChangesLegislation resultingadopted on July 4, 2025 (the One Big Beautiful Budget Act), attaches work and community service requirements to eligibility for Medicaid benefits that will have the effect of limiting Medicaid enrollment and expenditure. That legislation also places limits on provider fees used to increase federal Medicaid funding to states. The legislation prohibits states not previously having expanded Medicaid eligibility, which includes 9 states where we have facilities, to 138% of federal poverty level from increasing the outcomerate of current provider fees which fund certain state supplemental payments or increasing the base of the 2024fee electionsto maya includeclass increasedor relianceitems of services that the fee did not previously cover. That current provider fee threshold will remain at 6%. For states having expanded Medicaid eligibility under the legislation, the provider fee threshold will be reduced by 0.5% annually between federal fiscal years 2028 and 2032 with the resulting threshold ultimately becoming 3.5%. Under current law, and based on Medicareour Advantagecurrent programs,expectations, workwe requirementsestimate 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 $432 million to $480 million by 2032. The legislation also eliminates certain insurance exchange premium tax credits beyond 2025 and exchange enrollment is expected to be adversely impacted. On January 8, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1834 to extend for Medicaidthree waiveryears programthe eligibility,enhanced increasedpremium focustax credits (“EPTCs”) that expired on hospitalDecember outpatient31, site2025, neutralwhich paymentis policies,currently andundergoing similarreview initiatives that may reducein the availability of funding for federal healthcare programs or make eligibility for benefits more difficult. There have been proposals to substantially decrease federal funding for state Medicaid Programs.Senate. Any significant reduction in federal Medicaid funding to states would likely result in states reducing Medicaid payments to us which would have a material adverse effect on us. We are unable to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on our operations. In addition, the uncertainty and fiscal pressures placed upon federal and state governments as a result of, among other things, deterioration in general economic conditions and the funding requirements from the federal healthcare reform legislation, may affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. All of these changes may be expected to reduce our revenue and likely increase the level of uncompensated care provided by our facilities which will have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, the vast majority of the net revenues generated at our behavioral health facilities located in the United Kingdom are derived from governmental payers. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by governmental payers in the United States or United Kingdom are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

As discussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Summary of Various State Medicaid Supplemental Payment Programs, we receive revenues from various state and county-based programs, including Medicaid in all states in which we operate. We receive annual Medicaid revenues of approximately $100 million, or greater, from each of Texas, California, Nevada, California,Washington, D.C., Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington,Kentucky, D.C.,Tennessee, Kentucky,Virginia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, MassachusettsMississippi and Mississippi. We also receive Medicaid disproportionate share hospital payments from certain states including, most significantly, Texas.Washington. Most of these programs are approved on a year-to-year basis and there is no assurance that these revenues will continue at their current rates or at all. We are therefore particularly sensitive to potential reductions in Medicaid and other state-based revenue programs as well as regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive changes in those states.

We expect that government pressure on managed care organizations through static or reduced funding received by these payers from government sources such as through Medicare Advantage plans will in turn increase the pressure on us to not increase or reduce the rates charged by us to patients covered by those plans. We also expect continued third-party efforts to aggressively manage reimbursement levels and cost controls. Reductions in reimbursement amounts received from third-party payers could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and our results of operations.

In connection with the operations at our George Washington University Hospital and Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center located in Washington, D. C. ( the “District Hospitals”), we recently agreed to the framework of an agreement with The George Washington University ( the “University”) and the faculty medical group, The Medical Faculty Associates, Inc., to change the arrangement among the parties. The transaction, which is pending completion and subject to execution of definitive agreements, is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2026. Should this transaction be finalized as tentatively agreed, among other things: (i) a new taxable non-profit subsidiary of ours will employ a large number, but not all, of their physicians and allied health professionals who had been part of that group, and; (ii) we will assume financial and management responsibility for that group. With this transaction, there is a risk that some physicians who have traditionally treated their patients at the District Hospitals may choose to not join or remain with the new physician group or treat their patients at the District Hospitals. If the transaction is not consummated, or the anticipated benefits of the transition are not realized, the operations and financial performance of the District Hospitals could be materially adversely impacted which could potentially result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.

In our acute care segment, during the past few years we experienced significant increases in hospital-based physician related expenses, especially in the areas of emergency room care and anesthesiology. We have implemented various initiatives to mitigate the increased expense, to the degree possible, which has moderated the rate of increase experienced during 2024the andpast 2023.several years. However, significant increases in these physician related expenses could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations.

In addition, in some markets such as California, there are requirements to maintain specified nurse-staffing levels which could adversely affect our results of operations by increasing our salaries, wages and benefits expense, and/or by decreasing our net revenues to the extent we cannot meet those staffing levels. California legislation required the adoption of staffing standards specific to acute psychiatric hospitals and requirements to determine appropriate licensed staffing based on patient acuity and care needs no later than January 31, 2026. While implementation of these standards has been postponed until June 1, 2026, allowing the California Department of Public Health to better assess public comments, the Department has instructed that the implemented ratios are not expected to be less than those already addressed in draft regulatory language. If California increases mandatory nurse-staffing ratios or additional states in which we operate adopt mandatory nurse-staffing ratios, such changes could significantly affect labor costs and have an adverse impact on revenues if we are required to limit admissions in order to meet the required ratios.

Beginning in 2025federal andfiscal continuingyear through 2027,2028, the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (“DSH”) allotment to the states from federal funds will be reduced. Such reductions have been delayed several times, most recently under the American Relief Act 2025, which delayed the DSH reductions through March 31, 2025. During the reduction period, state Medicaid DSH allotments from federal funds will be reduced by $8 billion annually.billion. Reductions are imposed on states based on percentage of uninsured individuals, Medicaid utilization and uncompensated care. We receive Medicaid DSH payments in certain states including, most significantly, Texas. We are therefore particularly sensitive to potential reductions in Medicaid and other state-based revenue programs as well as regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive changes in those states. We can provide no assurance that reductions to revenues earned pursuant to these programs, particularly in the above-mentioned states, will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.

Reworded

Although it was expected that as a result of the Legislation there would be a reduction in uninsured patients, which would reduce our expense from uncollectible accounts receivable, the Legislation makes a number of other changes to Medicare and Medicaid which we believe may have an adverse impact on us. The Legislation revises reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to emphasize the efficient delivery of high quality care and contains a number of incentives and penalties under these programs to achieve these goals. The Legislation implements a value-based purchasing program, which will reward the delivery of efficient care. Conversely, certain facilities will receive reduced reimbursement for failing to meet quality parameters; such hospitals will include those with excessive readmission or hospital-acquired condition rates. As a result of the 2024 and upcoming 2026 federal elections and the Braidwood Management v. Becerra litigation currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, it remains unclear what portions of that legislation may remain, or what any replacement or alternative programs may be created by future legislation.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was passed on August 16, 2022, which among other things, allows for CMS to negotiate prices for certain single-source drugs and biologics reimbursed under Medicare Part B and Part D, beginning with 10 high-cost drugs paid for by Medicare Part D starting in 2026, followed by 15 Part D drugs in 2027, 15 Part B or Part D drugs in 2028, and 20 Part B or Part D drugs in 2029 and beyond.

The Trump administration has already taken steps to undo certain Biden-era executive orders, including those intended to lower drug costs for beneficiaries, and to freeze funding for federal programs. While the administration’s initial freeze has since been rescinded, the administration is likely to make other attempts to reduce federal program expenditures and can generally be expected to oppose increases in ACA and Medicaid enrollment.

On March 28, 2024, a jury returned a verdict for compensatory damages of $60 million and punitive damages of $475 million and a related judgment was entered against The Pavilion Behavioral Health System (the “Pavilion”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company. In an order dated October 10, 2024, the trial court ordered a remittitur of punitive damages from $475 million to $120 million. The court denied the Pavilion’s request for reduction of compensatory damages. The Pavilion has filed an appeal of the remaining judgment and the Plaintiff filed a cross appeal of the remittitur of punitive damages. Plaintiff has filed and served a Citation to Discover Assets ("Citation") on the Pavilion as well as Universal Health Services, Inc., and UHS of Delaware, Inc. ("UHS Entities") for the purported purpose of executing on the judgment during the pendency of the appeal. We are currently contesting the Citation as to the UHS Entities who were not parties to the litigation as well as the breadth and scope of the Citation issued to the Pavilion.

For example, as discussed elsewhere herein, Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents (“Cumberland”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in multi-plaintiff lawsuits filed in the Circuit Court for Richmond, Virginia (the “Cumberland Litigation”), relating to allegations of inappropriate sexual contact during medical examinations by Dr. Daniel Davidow, an independent contractor and the former medical director for Cumberland. The Company and UHS of Delaware, Inc., our administrative services subsidiary (“UHS Delaware”), were also named as co-defendants in the Cumberland Litigation. Plaintiffs have asserted claims of negligence, assault and battery (against Dr. Davidow), false imprisonment, violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (“VCPA”), and vicarious liability for Dr. Davidow’s conduct against Cumberland, the Company, and UHS Delaware. The Company and UHS Delaware were dismissed from the action during the trial, which occurred in September, 2024. On September 27, 2024, a jury entered a verdict finding Dr. Davidow and Cumberland liable and awarded these three plaintiffs combined compensatory damages of $60 million for all liability theories, an additional combined $180 million in trebled damages for violation of the VCPA, and an additional combined $120 million in punitive damages.

Cumberland has filed a matternotice of law.appeal on the remaining verdict. Plaintiffs have separately filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge the dismissal of the Company and UHS Delaware during trial, and the Court’s order reducing the punitive damages award against Cumberland. These appeals were recently dismissed by the appellate court without prejudice as premature because the judgments in favor of the first three plaintiffs are neither final nor enforceable at this time. There are approximately 40 additional plaintiffs making similar allegations with claims pending in the Cumberland Litigation. The Company and UHS Delaware remain defendants with respect to the remaining plaintiffs. We expect that the trials for the remaining plaintiffs, as well as any additional plaintiffs, will be scheduled at various times over the next several yearsyears. andThe willnext continuetrial is tentatively planned to be triedcommence in smallAugust, groups.2026.

We are uncertain as to the ultimate financial exposure related to the Pavilion and Cumberland mattersmatter (which relate to occurrences in the 2020 policy year) and we can make no assurances regarding timing or substance of their outcome, or the amount of damages that may be ultimately held recoverable after post-judgment proceedings and appeals. As of December 31, 2024,2025, without reduction for any potential amounts related to the Pavilion and Cumberland matters,matter, the Company and its subsidiaries have aggregate insurance coverage of approximately $221$143 million remaining under commercial policies for matters applicable to the 2020 policy year (in excess of the applicable self-insured retention amounts of $10 million per single occurrence/$25 million for multi-plaintiff matters for professional liability claims and $3 million per occurrence for general liability claims).

UHS Delaware is also a defendant in a lawsuit filed in Washoe County, Nevada, along with Pinnacle Management Group NV, LLC ("Pinnacle Medical Group", in which a subsidiary of the Company holds a 50% interest) and several individuals. The Company was previously dismissed from the lawsuit. The lawsuit contains allegations of intentional interference with contractual relationships and prospective economic advantage resulting from the departure of several physicians from St. Mary’s Medical Group in Reno, Nevada, who joined Pinnacle Medical Group in 2021. A trial of this matter was concluded on September 26, 2025, with a verdict rendered against UHS Delaware and the other defendants for approximately $4.7 million in compensatory damages. The jury also awarded punitive damages against UHS Delaware of $500 million and lesser amounts against some of the other defendants. Based upon Nevada statutory law, we expect the punitive damages to be reduced to a maximum of approximately $14 million. We also believe that recent Nevada Supreme Court precedent could further reduce the amount of punitive damages.

UHS Delaware, and the other defendants are evaluating all legal options and intend to challenge this verdict in post-judgment trial court proceedings and on appeal. We are uncertain as to the ultimate financial exposure related to this matter and we can make no assurance regarding its outcome, or the amount of damages that may be recoverable after post-judgment proceedings and appeals. If we are unsuccessful in reversing the verdict, or significantly reducing the level of damages, or we are required to post a substantial bond pending appeal, this matter could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Reworded

We are unable to predict the outcome of these litigation matters or to reasonably estimate the amount or range of any such loss; however, these lawsuits and the related publicity and news articles that have been published concerning these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows which in turn could cause a decline in our stock price. In an effort to resolve one or more of these matters, we may choose to negotiate a settlement. Amounts we pay to settle any of these matters may be material.

Changes to U.S. and other countries’ trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.

Reworded

Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from where our import products or materials (either directly or through our suppliers) could have an impact on our competitive position, business operations and financial results. InBeginning in February 2025, the U.S. government has imposed or has threatened to impose new tariffs, including on imported products from the European Union, Mexico, Canada and China. The impact of these tariffs is subject to a number of factors, including the effective date and duration of such tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any retaliatory responses to such actions that the target countries may take and any mitigating actions that may become available. If significant tariffs or other restrictions are imposed on our imported pharmaceutical ingredients, medical devices, medical equipment and their ingredients and components, there could be significant strain on our supply chains, causing major disruptions in procurement processes and contract negotiations with suppliers due to increased costs, pricing volatility, longer procurement lead times and supply shortages stemming from increased production costs and import restrictions. As a result, we have to attempt to shift increased costs onto insurers and patients (in the form of higher service charges), reduce procurement volumes and delay equipment upgrades to mitigate financial strain. While we continue to evaluate the potential impact of the 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., the European Union, Mexico, Canada, China or other 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.

As cyber criminals continue to become more sophisticated through evolution of their tactics, techniques and procedures, we have taken, and will continue to take, additional preventive measures to strengthen the cyber defenses of our networks and data. Although we continue to regularly review and enhance our IT systems and cybersecurity controls, we and our third-party provider have experienced, and may experience in the future, cybersecurity incidents. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (as filed on February 27, 2024) for information regarding the 2024 cyber incident at UnitedHealth Group Incorporated and the cyber incident we experienced in 2020. While to date no incident had a material impact on our operations or financial results, we cannot guarantee that material incidents will not occur in the future. If any of our or our third-party service providers’ systems are damaged, fail to function properly or otherwise become unavailable, we may incur substantial costs to repair or replace them, and may experience loss or corruption of critical data such as protected health information or other data subject to privacy laws and proprietary business information and interruptions or disruptions and delays in our ability to perform critical functions, which could materially and adversely affect our businesses and results of operations and could result in significant penalties or fines, litigation, loss of customers, significant damage to our reputation and business, and other losses. In the event of a material breach or cyber-attack, the associated expenses and losses may exceed our current insurance coverage for such events. In addition, some adverse consequences are not insurable, such as reputational harm and third-party business interruption. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information. Further, consumer confidence in the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information systems and information, including patient personal information and critical operations data, in the healthcare industry generally could be impacted to the extent there are successful cyberattacks at other healthcare services companies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

At December 31, 2024,2025, 24.421.3 million shares of Class B Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of shares of Class A, C and D Common Stock outstanding, for issuance upon exercise of options to purchase Class B Common Stock and for issuance of stock under other incentive plans. Class A, C and D Common Stock are convertible on a share for share basis into Class B Common Stock. To the extent that these shares wereare converted into or exercised for shares of Class B Common Stock, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock available for trading in the public market place would increase substantially and the current holders of Class B Common Stock would own a smaller percentage of that class.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to promote an understanding of our operating results and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under Item 1A. Risk Factors, and below in Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and as included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This section generally discusses our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. For discussion of our resultresults of operations and changes in our financial condition for the year ended December 31, 20232024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, please refer to Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023,2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27,26, 2024.2025.

Reworded

As of February 26,25, 2025,2026, we owned and/or operated 359375 inpatient facilities and 60168 outpatient and other facilities, including the following,facilities located in 3940 states, Washington, D.C., the United Kingdom and Puerto Rico:Rico. We have changed the method of our outpatient behavioral health care facility counts during the third quarter of 2025 and substantially all of the increase from prior periods is related to that change in convention.

Reworded

3 inpatient behavioral health care facilities.facilities;

Added

7 outpatient behavioral health care facilities.

Reworded

Net revenues from our acute care hospitals, outpatient facilities and commercial health insurer accounted for 56%approximately 57% of our consolidated net revenues during 2024each of 2025 and 57% during 2023.2024. Net revenues from our behavioral health care facilities and commercial health insurer accounted for 44%approximately 43% of our consolidated net revenues during 2024each of 2025 and 43% during 2023.2024.

Reworded

Our behavioral health care facilities located in the U.K. generated net revenues of approximately $1.001 billion in 2025 and $880 million in 2024 and $761 million in 2023.2024. Total assets at our U.K. behavioral health care facilities were approximately $1.531 billion as of December 31, 2025 and $1.358 billion as of December 31, 2024 and $1.327 billion as of December 31, 2023.2024.

Added

as discussed below in Sources of Revenue, we receive revenues from various state and county-based programs, including Medicaid in all the states in which we operate. We receive annual Medicaid revenues of approximately $100 million, or greater, from each of Texas, California, Nevada, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi and Washington. Most of these programs are approved on a year-to-year basis and there is no assurance that these revenues will continue at their current rates or at all. We are therefore particularly sensitive to potential reductions in Medicaid and other state-based revenue programs as well as regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive changes in those states;

Added

legislation adopted on July 4, 2025 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), attaches work and community service requirements to eligibility for Medicaid benefits that will have the effect of limiting Medicaid enrollment and expenditure. That legislation also places limits on provider fees used to increase federal Medicaid funding to states. The legislation prohibits states not previously having expanded Medicaid eligibility to 138% of federal poverty level from increasing the rate of current provider fees which fund certain state supplemental payments or increasing the base of the fee to a class or items of services that the fee did not previously cover. That current provider fee threshold will remain at 6%. For states having expanded Medicaid eligibility under the legislation, the provider fee threshold will be reduced by 0.5% annually between federal fiscal years 2028 and 2032 with the resulting threshold ultimately becoming 3.5%. 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 $432 million to $480 million by 2032. The legislation also eliminates certain insurance exchange premium tax credits beyond 2025 and exchange enrollment is expected to be adversely impacted. On January 8, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1834 to extend for three years the enhanced premium tax credits ("EPTCs") that expired on December 31, 2025, which is currently undergoing review in the Senate. We cannot predict whether these subsidies will ultimately be adopted in federal fiscal year 2026. All of these factors, which could have a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations, may be expected to reduce our revenue and likely increase the level of uncompensated care provided by our facilities;

Removed

the healthcare industry is labor intensive and salaries, wages and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supplies expense and other operating expenses. In the past, staffing shortages have, at times, required us to hire expensive temporary personnel and/or enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel. At certain facilities, particularly within our behavioral health care segment, there have been occasions when we were unable to fill all vacant positions and, consequently, we were required to limit patient volumes. We have also experienced general inflationary cost increases related to certain of our other operating expenses. Many of these factors, which had a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations in prior years, have moderated more recently. However, we cannot predict future inflationary increases, which if significant, could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations. We have experienced inflationary pressures, primarily in personnel costs, although those pressures have moderated more recently. 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. Further, given the complexities of the reimbursement landscape in which we operate, our ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to various federal, state and local laws, which in certain circumstances, limit our ability to increase prices;

Removed

in our acute care segment, we have experienced a significant increase in hospital based physician related expenses, especially in the areas of emergency room care and anesthesiology. We have implemented various initiatives to mitigate the increased expense, to the degree possible, which has moderated the rate of increase. However, significant increases in these physician related expenses could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations;

Removed

the increase in interest rates during the past few years has increased our interest expense significantly thereby reducing our free cash flow. As such, although interest rates have moderated more recently, the effects of increased borrowing rates have adversely impacted our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot predict future changes to interest rates, however, significant increases in our borrowing rates could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations and our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms;

Removed

President Biden signed into law fiscal year 2025 appropriations to federal agencies for continuing projects and activities through March 14, 2025. We cannot predict whether or not there will be future legislation averting a federal government shutdown, however, our operating cash flows and results of operations could be materially unfavorably impacted by a federal government shutdown;

Removed

on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, was signed into law phasing out the enhanced federal medical assistance percentage rate that states received during the COVID-19 public health emergency and fully eliminated the increase on December 31, 2023. States were also permitted to begin Medicaid eligibility redeterminations on March 31, 2023, which has resulted in a decrease in Medicaid enrollment;

Removed

our ability to comply with the existing laws and government regulations, and/or changes in laws and government regulations, including the recently enacted and proposed significant new tariffs. Significant tariffs or other restrictions, if imposed on our imported pharmaceutical ingredients, medical devices, medical equipment and their ingredients and components, could escalate costs of medications, medical devices and medical equipment and disrupt our supply chains. While we continue to evaluate the potential impact of the 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;

Reworded

anthere increasingare number ofadditional legislative initiatives have been passed into lawchanges that mayare likely to result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or state level.level, including changes in the structure and administration of, and funding for, federal and state agencies and programs. For example, Congress has reduced to $0 the penalty for failing to maintain health coverage that was part of the original Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the "Legislation“ACA") as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. To date, theThe Biden administration hashad issued executive orders implementing a special enrollment period permitting individuals to enroll in health plans outside of the annual open enrollment period and reexamining policies that may undermine the LegislationACA or the Medicaid program. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was passed on August 16, 2022, which among other things, allows for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") to negotiate prices for certain single-source drugs reimbursed under Medicare Part B and Part D. The American Rescue Plan Act’s expansion of subsidies to purchase coverage through aan LegislationACA exchange, which the IRA continued through 2025, has increased exchange enrollment. However,These the Trump administration has already taken steps to undo certain Biden-era executive orders, including those intended to lower drug costs for beneficiaries, and to freeze funding for federal programs. While the administration’s initial freeze has since been rescinded, the administration is likely to make other attempts to reduce federal program expenditures and can generally be expected to oppose increases in ACA and Medicaid enrollment. If theenhanced subsidies areexpired noton extendedDecember beyond31, 2025, exchange enrollment may be adversely impacted2025;

there have been numerous political and legal efforts to expand, repeal, replace or modify the Legislation,ACA since its enactment, some of which have been successful, in part, in modifying the Legislation,ACA, as well as court challenges to the constitutionality of the Legislation.legislation. The U.S. Supreme Court held in California v. Texas that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Legislation’slegislation’s requirement to obtain minimum essential health insurance coverage, or the individual mandate. The Court dismissed the case without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Legislation.ACA. AsThe a result, the Legislation continued to remain law, in its entirety. On September 7, 2022, the Legislationlegislation faced its most recent challenge when athe TexasSupreme Federal District Court judge,Court, in the caseJune of2025 Kennedy v. Braidwood Management v.decision, Becerra,opined ruledin that a requirement that certain health plans cover services without cost sharing violates the Appointments Clausefavor of the U.S. Constitution and that the coverage of certainACA HIV preventionpreventive medicationcare violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.coverage. The decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which on June 21, 2024, affirmed the District Court’s ruling regarding preventive services recommended by United States Preventive Services Task Force being unconstitutional. However, the Fifth Circuit overturned the nationwide injunction imposed by the District Court, preserving access to the majority of preventive services in dispute for now. The U.S. Government appealed and on January 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the matter. The outcome and impacts of this litigationdecision cannot be predicted. Any future efforts to challenge, replace or replace the LegislationACA or expand or substantially amend its provision is unknown. See below in Sources of Revenues and Health Care Reform for additional disclosure;

In the past, staffing shortages have, at times, required us to hire expensive temporary personnel and/or enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel. At certain facilities, particularly within our behavioral health care segment, there have been occasions when we were unable to fill all vacant positions and, consequently, we were required to limit patient volumes. Additionally, California is in the process of implementing staffing standards specific to acute psychiatric hospitals and requirements to determine appropriate staffing based on patient acuity and care needs, which are expected to take effect on June 1, 2026. This can further increase our costs and limit our revenue if we are required to limit the number of patients at our California facilities;

Added

we have experienced inflationary pressures, primarily in personnel costs, although those pressures have moderated more recently. 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.

in our acute care segment, we have experienced a significant increase in hospital based physician related expenses, especially in the areas of emergency room care, anesthesiology and radiology. We have implemented various initiatives to mitigate the increased expense, to the degree possible, which has moderated the rate of increase. However, significant increases in these physician related expenses could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations;

Added

the increase in interest rates during the past few years has increased our interest expense significantly increasing our expenses and reducing our free cash flow and our ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. As such, the effects of increased borrowing rates have adversely impacted our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot predict future changes to interest rates, however, significant increases in our borrowing rates could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations. Our $700 million, 1.65% senior notes ("2026 Notes") mature on September 1, 2026. Market interest rates have increased significantly since the 2026 Notes were issued in 2021. We expect that we will refinance the 2026 Notes at significantly higher interest rates which will significantly increase our interest expense thereby decreasing our net income attributable to UHS;

Added

significant tariffs or other restrictions, if imposed on our imported pharmaceutical ingredients, medical devices, medical equipment and their ingredients and components, could escalate costs of medications, medical devices and medical equipment and disrupt our supply chains. While we continue to evaluate the potential impact of the 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. Therefore, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular, increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from where our products or materials are made (either directly or through our suppliers) could have an impact on our competitive position, business operations and financial results;

Added

as of early February 2026, Congress has passed and the President has signed a consolidated appropriations package providing fiscal year 2026 funding for the majority of federal agencies, while lawmakers continue to negotiate and consider outstanding appropriations legislation for the Department of Homeland Security. In the past several years political disputes concerning authorization of a federal budget have led to shutdown of substantial portions of the federal government and other federal budget authorization delays have occurred. Federal budget delays and federal government shutdowns are unpredictable and may occur in the future. 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 the federal government shutdown;

Reworded

as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the "CAA"), Congress passed legislation aimed at preventing or limiting patient balance billing in certain circumstances. The CAA addresses surprise medical bills stemming from emergency services, out-of-network ancillary providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance carriers. The CAA prohibits surprise billing when out-of-network emergency services or out-of-network services at an in-network facility are provided, unless informed consent is received. In these circumstances providers are prohibited from billing the patient for any amounts that exceed in-network cost-sharing requirements. HHS, the Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury have issued rules to implement the legislation. The rules have limited the ability of our hospital-based physicians to receive payments for services at usually higher out-of-network rates in certain circumstances, and, as a result, have caused us to increase subsidies to these physicians or to replace their services at a higher cost level;

Removed

possible unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement for our charges by third party payers or government based payers, including Medicare or Medicaid in the United States, and government based payers in the United Kingdom;

the outcome of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, inquiries, false claims act allegations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us and other matters, and the effects of adverse publicity relating to such matters, as disclosed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Commitments and Contingencies, including, but not limited to, the jury verdict returned against Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents located in New Kent, Virginia, an indirect subsidiary of ours, and the verdict in the Pinnacle litigation in Washoe County, Nevada, against certain subsidiaries of ours;

Added

effective March, 2025, our excess commercial insurance coverage for professional and general liability claims contains less favorable terms than previous years including coverage exclusions for incidents involving sexual molestation or abuse, higher premiums and lower aggregate limitations;

Removed

the outcome of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, inquiries, false claims act allegations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us and other matters, and the effects of adverse publicity relating to such matters, including, but not limited to, the jury verdicts returned against The Pavilion Behavioral Health System (the "Pavilion") and Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents ("Cumberland"), two of our indirect subsidiaries, as disclosed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings. We are uncertain as to the ultimate financial exposure related to the Pavilion and Cumberland matters (which relate to occurrences in the 2020 policy year) and we can make no assurances regarding timing or substance of their outcome, or the amount of damages that may be ultimately held recoverable after post-judgment proceedings and appeals. As of December 31, 2024, without reduction for any potential amounts related to the Pavilion and Cumberland matters, the Company and its subsidiaries have aggregate insurance coverage of approximately $221 million remaining under commercial policies for matters applicable to the 2020 policy year (in excess of the applicable self-insured retention amounts of $10 million per single occurrence/$25 million for multi-plaintiff matters for professional liability claims and $3 million per occurrence for general liability claims). In the event the resolution of the Pavilion and/or Cumberland matters exhausts all or a significant portion of the remaining commercial insurance coverage available to the Company and its subsidiaries related to other matters that occurred in 2020, or the Pavilion and Cumberland matters cause the posting of large bonds or other collateral during the appeal processes, our future results of operations and capital resources would be materially adversely impacted;

as discussed below in Sources of Revenue, we receive revenues from various state and county-based programs, including Medicaid in all the states in which we operate. We receive annual Medicaid revenues of approximately $100 million, or greater, from each of Texas, Nevada, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Kentucky, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts and Mississippi. Most of these programs are approved on a year-to-year basis and there is no assurance that these revenues will continue at their current rates or at all. The prior President Trump administration had attempted to limit Medicaid expenditures by, for example, attaching work requirements to eligibility for Medicaid waiver benefits. The second Trump administration is likely to explore similar solutions to limit Medicaid enrollment or expenditure. The Trump administration has already taken steps to undo Biden-era executive orders and to freeze funding for federal programs. While the administration’s initial freeze has since been rescinded, the administration is likely to make other attempts to reduce federal program expenditures and can generally be expected to oppose increases in ACA and Medicaid enrollment. We also receive Medicaid DSH payments in certain states including, most significantly, Texas. We are therefore particularly sensitive to potential reductions in Medicaid and other state-based revenue programs as well as regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive changes in those states;

we have exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the pound sterling. We have international subsidiaries that operate in the United Kingdom. We routinely hedge our exposures to foreign currencies with certain financial institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations, but these hedges may be inadequate to protect us from currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent that these hedges are inadequate, our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business could be adversely affected.

Revenue Recognition:

Reworded

RevenuePatient Recognitionservices provided in the U.S.: We report net patient service revenue at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients and third-party payers and others for services rendered. We have agreements with third-party payers that provide for payments to us at amounts different from our established rates. Payment arrangements include rates per discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges and per diem payments. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care plans, which represent explicit price concessions, are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. We closely monitor our historical collection rates, as well as changes in applicable laws, rules and regulations and contract terms, to assure that provisions are made using the most accurate information available. However, due to the complexities involved in these estimations, actual payments from payers may be different from the amounts we estimate and record.

Added

We estimate our Medicare and Medicaid revenues using the latest available financial information, patient utilization data, government provided data and in accordance with applicable Medicare and Medicaid payment rules and regulations. The laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. Certain types of payments by the Medicare program and state Medicaid programs (e.g. Medicaid State Directed Payments, Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital, Medicare Allowable Bad Debts and Inpatient Psychiatric Services) are subject to retroactive adjustment in future periods as a result of administrative review and audit and our estimates may vary from the final settlements. The funding of both federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are subject to legislative and regulatory changes. As such, we cannot provide any assurance that future legislation and regulations, if enacted, will not have a material impact on our future Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements.

Added

Behavioral health care services provided in the U.K.: The majority of the revenues generated by our behavioral health care facilities located in the U.K. are recorded pursuant to contracts with the National Health Service and other local governments for services including the following: behavioral health care services, rehabilitation services, residential homes, nursing homes, supported living services and specialist day services.

Added

Commercial health insurer - certain acute care markets: The majority of the revenues generated by our commercial health insurer conducting business in certain acute care markets relate to Medicare Advantage premiums which are determined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") utilizing a risk adjustment model that apportions premiums paid to health plans according to health and geographic factors. Risk score adjustments result in retroactive premium adjustments. The revenue adjustments are recognized when the amount is determinable and collectability or liability is reasonably assured. CMS also uses a star rating system which is derived from comprehensive evaluations of member satisfaction, quality of care and operational efficiency. In addition, our insurer also generates revenues from premiums for coverage under membership contracts with employer groups and individuals.

Removed

We estimate our Medicare and Medicaid revenues using the latest available financial information, patient utilization data, government provided data and in accordance with applicable Medicare and Medicaid payment rules and regulations. The laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation and as a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by material amounts in the near term. Certain types of payments by the Medicare program and state Medicaid programs (e.g. Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital, Medicare Allowable Bad Debts and Inpatient Psychiatric Services) are subject to retroactive adjustment in future periods as a result of administrative review and audit and our estimates may vary from the final settlements. Such amounts are included in accounts receivable, net, on our consolidated balance sheets. The funding of both federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are subject to legislative and regulatory changes. As such, we cannot provide any assurance that future legislation and regulations, if enacted, will not have a material impact on our future Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. Adjustments related to the final settlement of these retrospectively determined amounts did not materially impact our results in 2024, 2023 or 2022. If it were to occur, each 1% adjustment to our estimated net Medicare revenues that are subject to retrospective review and settlement as of December 31, 2024, would change our after-tax net income by approximately $2 million.

Reworded

Long-Lived Assets: We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of our asset based on our estimate of its undiscounted future cash flow. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values are determined based on estimated future cash flows using appropriate discount rates. Please see additional disclosure below in Provision for Asset Impairments, for disclosure regarding a provision for asset impairment recorded during 2022.

Added

Non-Marketable Securities: Non-marketable securities that we hold are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date and are recorded in other (income) expense, net. We recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain of $93 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Removed

Due to recent guidance and enacted laws surrounding the global 15% minimum tax rate that will be effective after 2024 from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") as well as jurisdictions that we operate in, we anticipate adverse effects to our provision for income taxes as well as cash taxes. We do not expect these adverse effects to be material and will continue to monitor changes in tax policies and laws issued by the OECD and jurisdictions that we operate in.

In addition, insurance exchange subsidies expired on December 31, 2025 which could unfavorably impact insurance exchange enrollment. Extension of these subsidies is currently the subject of Congressional debate as part of the federal budget negotiation, and we cannot predict whether these subsidies will ultimately be adopted in federal fiscal year 2026. As these provisions become effective over the next several years, they may be expected to reduce our revenues and likely increase the level of uncompensated care provided by our facilities. Please see Sources of Revenue below for additional disclosure related to Medicaid supplemental payment programs in various states in which we operate.

Added

Significant tariffs or other restrictions, if imposed on our imported pharmaceutical ingredients, medical devices, medical equipment and their ingredients and components, could escalate costs of medications, medical devices and medical equipment and disrupt our supply chains. While we continue to evaluate the potential impact of the 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. Therefore, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular, increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from where our products or materials are made (either directly or through our suppliers) could have an impact on our competitive position, business operations and financial results.

In our acute care segment, during the past few years we experienced significant increases in hospital-based physician related expenses, especially in the areas of emergency room care and anesthesiology. We have implemented various initiatives to mitigate the increased expense, to the degree possible, which has moderated the rate of increase experienced during 2024. However, significant increases in these physician related expenses could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations.

The acquisition is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement or the failure to satisfy the closing conditions; the possibility that the consummation of the proposed acquisition is delayed or does not occur, including the failure of Talkspace’s stockholders to approve the proposed mergeroccur; uncertainty as to whether the parties will be able to complete the merger on the terms set forth in the merger agreement; uncertainty regarding the timing of the receipt of required regulatory approvals for the merger and the possibility that the parties may be required to accept conditions that could reduce or eliminate the anticipated benefits of the merger as a condition to obtaining the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties or others following announcement of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; challenges, disruptions and costs of closing, integrating the business and achieving anticipated synergies, or that such synergies will take longer to realize than expected; failure to retain key employees of Talkspace during the period prior to closing or thereafter; failure to retain a significant portion of Talkspace’s providers or relationships with payors, risks that the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement disrupt current plans and operations that may harm the parties’ businesses or divert management’s attention from the parties’ ongoing business operations; and the amount of any costs, fees, expenses, impairments and charges related to the merger including costs and use of capital related to financing the merger.

Our performance depends on our ability to recruit and retain quality physicians.

Added

Typically, physicians are responsible for making hospital admissions decisions and for directing the course of patient treatment. As a result, the success and competitive advantage of our hospitals depends, in part, on the number and quality of the physicians on the medical staffs of our hospitals, the admitting practices of those physicians and our maintenance of good relations with those physicians. Physicians generally are not employees of our hospitals, and, in a number of our markets, physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals in addition to our hospitals. They may terminate their affiliation with us at any time. If we are unable to maintain high ethical and professional standards, adequate support personnel and technologically advanced equipment and facilities that meet the needs of those physicians, they may be discouraged from referring patients to our facilities and our results of operations may decline.

Added

It may become difficult for us to attract and retain an adequate number of physicians to practice in certain communities in which our hospitals are located. Our failure to recruit physicians to these communities or the loss of physicians in these communities could make it more difficult to attract patients to our hospitals and thereby may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The loss of one or more of these physicians, even if temporary, could cause a material reduction in our revenues, which could take significant time to replace given the difficulty and cost associated with recruiting and retaining physicians.

Added

In connection with the operations at our George Washington University Hospital and Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center located in Washington, D. C. (the “District Hospitals”), in late May 2026, we finalized negotiations and executed agreements with The George Washington University (the “University”) and the faculty medical group, The Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. (“MFA”), to change the arrangement among the parties. On August 1, 2026, Foggy Bottom Physicians Group d/b/a/ Capital Medical Group (“CMG”) began operations as a physician led non-profit entity employing all transitioning former MFA physicians, advanced practice providers and staff. A wholly-owned subsidiary of ours is the entity's sole member. The District of Columbia’s Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) is reviewing the transaction under their assertion of authority pursuant to the Healthcare Equity Conversion Act. Although we dispute the OAG’s jurisdiction over this matter, we are cooperating with the OAG as they conduct their review which is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2026. Once the OAG’s review has been completed, the OAG may approve the transaction as currently structured, reject the transaction, or approve the transaction subject to certain conditions.

Added

Although the OAG's review is ongoing, we have assumed management and financial responsibility for the operations of CMG effective as of August 1, 2026. If the transaction is not approved, or approved subject to conditions that are not acceptable to us, the transaction may have to be unwound. In addition, since not all of the physicians affiliated with the MFA joined CMG, there is a risk that some physicians who have traditionally treated their patients at the District Hospitals may choose to not treat their patients at the District Hospitals.

Added

If as a result of the OAG's review the transaction is ultimately unwound, or significantly changed from its current form, and/or the anticipated benefits of the transition are not realized, the operations and financial performance of the District Hospitals could be materially adversely impacted which could potentially result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.

as discussed below in Sources of Revenue, we receive revenues from various state and county-based programs, including Medicaid in all the states in which we operate.

The legislationlaw prohibits states not previously having expanded Medicaid eligibility to 138% of federal poverty level from increasing the rate of current provider fees which fund certain state supplemental payments or increasing the base of the fee to a class or items of services that the fee did not previously cover. That current provider fee threshold will remain at 6%. For states having expanded Medicaid eligibility under the legislation,law, the provider fee threshold will be reduced by 0.5% annually between federal fiscal years 2028 and 2032 with the resulting threshold ultimately becoming 3.5%. 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 $432 million to $480$500 million by 2032.

the healthcare industry is labor intensive and salaries, wages and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supplies expense and other operating expenses. In the past, staffing shortages have, at times, required us to hire expensive temporary personnel and/or enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel.

Therefore, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular, increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from where our products or materials are made (either directly or through our suppliers) could have an impact on our competitive position, business operations and financial results.
