Key Takeaways
- Adjusted EBITDA less non-controlling interests declined to $625 million from $671 million a year earlier.
- Management cited positive acute-care demand and increased behavioral-health volumes.
UHS earnings and outlook
Universal Health Services reported adjusted earnings of $5.22 per share for the quarter in its October 28 announcement. The decline in adjusted EBITDA less non-controlling interests accompanied the drop in adjusted earnings per share.
Management maintained its existing financial outlook while warning that results could come in toward the lower end of the ranges. That assessment is guidance, rather than a completed result.
Demand and Talkspace integration
Management highlighted positive demand trends in acute care and higher volumes in behavioral health. It also noted progress integrating its acquisition of Talkspace.
