COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS WITH NET OPERATING REVENUES OF $4.882 BILLION
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (August 3, 2015) Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) (the Company ) today announced financial and operating results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
The operating results of Health Management Associates, Inc. ( HMA ) are
included in the Company s consolidated results and statistical data from January 27, 2014, the date the Company completed its acquisition of HMA. For hospitals acquired in the HMA merger, same-store operating results and statistical data
reflect the periods from January 1 through June 30, 2015 and 2014, as if such hospitals were owned during both comparable six-month periods. The Company had previously restated its prior period financial statements and statistical results
to reflect the reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2014 to discontinued operations for one hospital that was held for sale at December 31, 2014, and was subsequently sold during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Net operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $4.882 billion, a 2.5 percent increase compared with $4.765
billion for the same period in 2014. Income from continuing operations attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders increased to $117 million, or $1.01 per share (diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2015,
compared to $48 million, or $0.42 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2014. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2015, include $0.05 per share (diluted) related to loss from early extinguishment of debt, $0.04 per share
(diluted) related to impairment of long-lived assets and $0.08 per share (diluted) of expense from fair value adjustments related to HMA legal proceedings, accounted for at fair value, underlying the contingent value rights ( CVR )
agreement, and related legal expenses; these expenses were partially offset by $0.03 per share (diluted) of income related to favorable outcomes for government legal settlements for several qui tam matters previously accrued and settled in
principle, net of related legal expenses. Excluding these items, income from continuing operations was $1.14 per share (diluted). Net income attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders was $0.95 per share (diluted) for the
three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $0.37 per share (diluted) for the same period in 2014. Discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015, consisted of a loss of approximately $(6) million, or $(0.06) per
share (diluted) from operations of entities sold or held for sale. Weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) were 116 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and 113 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $769 million compared with $700 million for the same period in 2014,
representing a 9.9 percent increase.
The consolidated operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015, reflect a 1.9
percent decrease in total admissions, compared with the same period in 2014. Total adjusted admissions were flat for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 2.2

months ended June 30, 2015, compared with loss from continuing operations attributable to Community Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders of $(42) million, or $(0.38) per share (diluted), for the same period in 2014. The results for the six

representing a 19.4 percent increase.
The consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015, reflect a 6.4
percent increase in total admissions, and a 7.9 percent increase in total adjusted admissions, compared with the same period in 2014. On a same-store basis, admissions decreased 0.9 percent while adjusted admissions increased 1.1 percent during the
six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014. On a same-store basis, net operating revenues increased 3.7 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, loss from early extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived
assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, acquisition and integration expenses from the acquisition of HMA, (income) expense related to government legal settlements and related costs, and expense from fair value adjustments
related to the HMA legal proceedings, accounted for at fair value, underlying the CVR agreement, and related legal expenses. For information regarding why the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA presents useful information to investors, and for a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, see footnote (f) to the Financial Highlights, Financial Statements and Selected Operating Data below.
Commenting on the results, Wayne T. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community Health Systems, Inc., said, Our ability to
execute fundamental operating strategies in an evolving healthcare environment resulted in a solid financial and operating performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. We are pleased with the incremental improvement in operating revenues
across our hospital network and our ability to drive higher earnings compared with the second quarter of last year. These results include operating synergies from the integration of the HMA hospitals, the benefit of numerous strategic initiatives,
and the incremental opportunities created by the Affordable Care Act. We look forward to more opportunities this year as we continue to deliver quality care for our patients, recruit qualified physicians, make the right investments in facilities and
