This growth includes an after-tax gain of $1.85bn, or $18.45 per diluted share, stemming from hospital divestitures announced earlier.
During the quarter ending 31 March 2024, the company generated net operating revenues of $5.36bn, 6.9% higher than the $5.02bn recorded in the prior year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) increased to $1.02bn from $832m over this period.
This increase was attributed to strong same-hospital admission growth, improved contract labour costs, and a favourable payer mix, although partially offset by higher medical fees.
