In a move indicative of a larger trend in healthcare consolidation, Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) announced a definitive agreement with Adventist Health for the sale of two California hospitals for $550 million. The divestiture of Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Twin Cities Community Hospital in San Luis Obispo County marks another step in Tenet's strategic shift away from general acute care facilities and strengthens Adventist Health's footprint in the region.
Hospital EBITDA Multiples
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the two hospitals and related operations included in the sale generated revenues of approximately $337 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $38 million. The transaction implies multiples of ~1.6x revenue and ~14.5x EBITDA, representing another one of the higher reported EBITDA multiples for general acute hospitals in our database.
