The impact of these items was not included in our original 2026 operating results forecast, as previously disclosed on February 25, 2026.
Included in our operating results during the second quarter of 2025, were aggregate net pre-tax incremental reimbursements (net of related provider taxes) of approximately $101 million recorded in connection with the following: (i) approximately $58 million, applicable to the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, resulting from the Tennessee Medicaid directed payment program, and; (ii) approximately $43 million of other combined additional net reimbursements recorded in connection with supplemental Medicaid programs in various states (approximately $21 million of which consisted of prior year retroactive reimbursements).

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Credit Agreement Amendment/Capital Resources:
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, our net cash provided by operating activities was $845 million as compared to $909 million during the first six months of 2025. The $64 million net decrease in our net cash provided by operating activities consisted of: (i) an unfavorable change of $207 million in other working capital accounts due primarily to the timing of accounts payable disbursements; (ii) a favorable change of $86 million in accrued and deferred income taxes; (iii) a favorable change of $53 million resulting from an increase in net income plus/minus depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and gain on sales of assets and businesses; (iv) a favorable change of $47 million in accrued insurance expense, net of payments made in settlement of self-insured claims; (v) an unfavorable change of $45 million in accounts receivable, and; (vi) other combined net favorable changes of $2 million.
Credit Agreement Amendment/Capital Resources:
As of June 30, 2026, pursuant to the terms of our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, we had $1.272 billion of available borrowing capacity, net of outstanding borrowings ($225 million) and letters of credit. Also as of June 30, 2026, as part of our credit agreement, we had $400 million of borrowing capacity pursuant to a delayed draw term loan A which is expected to be drawn upon the closing of our acquisition of Talkspace, Inc. (expected to be finalized during the third quarter of 2026). The maturity date for our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and our $400 million delayed draw term loan A is September 26, 2029.
In July, 2026, and as previously disclosed on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2026, we amended our credit agreement to add a new $700 million delayed draw term loan A which, if we elect to utilize, would be funded on or prior to September 30, 2026, with a maturity date 364 days after the initial funding. Potential future borrowings pursuant to this facility would be used for general corporate purposes, including, should we elect, repayment at maturity of our $700 million, 1.650% Senior Secured Notes due on September 1, 2026.
Stock Repurchase Program:
In connection with our stock repurchase program, shares of our Class B Common Stock may be repurchased, from time to time as conditions allow, on the open market or in negotiated private transactions.
Pursuant to this program, during the second quarter of 2026, we have repurchased 1.890 million shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $320.3 million (average price of approximately $169 per share). During the first six months of 2026, we have repurchased 2.565 million shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $447.5 million (average price of approximately $174 per share).
As of June 30, 2026, we had an aggregate available repurchase authorization of approximately $977.6 million pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
Revised 2026 Operating Results Forecast:
Based upon the operating trends, changes in reimbursements related to certain Medicaid supplemental payment programs and financial results experienced during the first six months of 2026, as indicated on the Revised Forecast table below, we are revising our operating results forecast range for consolidated net revenues; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, and the impacts of other income/expense and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests ("Adjusted EBITDA, net of NCI"), and adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share ("Adjusted EPS-diluted") for the year ended December 31, 2026.
As discussed above, our operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 included a favorable net pre-tax impact of $100 million (net of related provider taxes) recorded in connection with the Florida Medicaid managed care directed payment program applicable to the period of October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. Since CMS has not yet approved the increased size of this program for periods beyond September 30, 2025, no incremental benefit related to this program has been included in our revised 2026 operating results forecast beyond amounts included in our operating results during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.
Our revised 2026 forecasted range of adjusted net income attributable to UHS, and adjusted EPS-diluted, exclude certain items as described below because we do not believe we can forecast those items with sufficient accuracy. Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI, is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI is helpful to our investors as a measure of our operating performance. Please see the Supplemental Non-GAAP Disclosures – Revised 2026 Operating Results Forecast schedule as included herein for additional information and a reconciliation of our revised 2026 forecasted range of adjusted net income attributable to UHS to our revised 2026 forecasted range of Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI.
The tables below include our full year revised 2026 operating results forecast, as well as our original 2026 operating results forecast which was previously disclosed on February 25, 2026.

It is also subject to certain conditions including those as set forth below in General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Headquartered in King of Prussia, PA, UHS is one of the nation's largest and most respected providers of hospital and healthcare services, with annual revenues of approximately $17.4 billion during 2025. Through its subsidiaries, UHS employs more than 102,000 employees and, as of June 30, 2026, operated 30 inpatient acute care facilities, 346 inpatient behavioral health facilities and approximately 170 outpatient and other facilities, an insurance offering, a physician network and various related services located in 40 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. Since our founding in 1979, UHS has grown steadily into a premier Fortune 500® corporation perennially recognized by multiple esteemed national rating entities. Our strategy includes investing in talented staff, facilities, technology and innovation across broad care continuums to deliver favorable patient outcomes and contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of the patients we are privileged to serve. A wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS also acts as the advisor to Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust (NYSE: UHT). For additional information, please visit www.uhs.com.
This press release contains forward-looking statements based on current management expectations. Numerous factors, including those disclosed herein, those related to healthcare industry trends and those detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as set forth in Item 2-Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and in Item 1A-Risk Factors, and Item 7-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025), may cause the results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore actual results may differ materially. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Many of the factors that could affect our future results are beyond our control or ability to predict, including, but not limited to:
We believe that adjusted net income attributable to UHS, adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share, EBITDA net of NCI and Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI, which are non-GAAP financial measures ("GAAP" is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. In addition, we believe that, when applicable, comparing and discussing our financial results based on these measures, as calculated, is helpful to our investors since it neutralizes the effect of material items impacting our net income attributable to UHS, such as, changes in the value of certain non-marketable securities (in connection with our minority ownership in a healthcare generative artificial intelligence company), the impact of ASU 2016-09, and other potential material items that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including, but not limited to, impairments of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, reserves for various matters including settlements, legal judgments and lawsuits, costs related to extinguishment of debt, gains/losses on sales of assets and businesses, potential impacts of non-ordinary acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic transactions, and other amounts that may be reflected in the current or prior year financial statements that relate to prior periods. To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance these measures should be examined in connection with net income attributable to UHS, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this report or in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since the items included or excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be alternatives to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Since these measures, as presented, are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.

We believe that providing our results on a "Same Facility" basis (which is a non-GAAP measure), which includes the operating results for facilities and businesses operated in both the current year and prior year periods, is helpful to our investors as a measure of our operating performance. Our Same Facility results also neutralize (if applicable), the effect of material items that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as, but not limited to, reserves for various matters, settlements, legal judgments and lawsuits, cost related to extinguishment of debt, gains/losses on sales of assets and businesses, impairments of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets and other amounts that may be reflected in the current or prior year financial statements that relate to prior periods. Our Same Facility basis results exclude from net revenues and other operating expenses, provider tax assessments incurred in each period. However, these provider tax assessments are included in net revenues and other operating expenses as reflected in the table under All Acute Care Hospital Services. The provider tax assessments had no impact on the income before income taxes as reflected on the above tables since the amounts offset between net revenues and other operating expenses. To obtain a complete understanding of our financial performance, the Same Facility results should be examined in connection with our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and as presented herein and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Prior year amounts related to certain facilities previously included in our Behavioral Health Care Services' results have been reclassified into our Acute Care Hospital Services' results as of January 1, 2025 to conform with current year presentation.
The All Acute Care Hospital Services table summarizes the results of operations for all our acute care operations during the periods presented. These amounts include: (i) our acute care results on a same facility basis, as indicated above; (ii) the impact of provider tax assessments which increased net revenues and other operating expenses but had no impact on income before income taxes, and; (iii) certain other amounts including the results of facilities acquired or opened during the last twelve months.

(a) Adjusted net income attributable to UHS/per diluted share exclude the following items because we do not believe we can forecast these items with sufficient accuracy. Such items include: the impact of future items, if applicable, that are nonrecurring or non-operational in nature including items such as pre-tax unrealized gains/losses resulting from changes in the value of certain non-marketable securities, the impact of ASU 2016-09, and other potential material items including, but not limited to, impairments of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, reserves for various matters including settlements, legal judgments and lawsuits, costs related to extinguishment of debt, gains/losses on sales of assets and businesses, potential impacts of non-ordinary acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic transactions, other amounts that may be reflected in the current or prior year financial statements that relate to prior periods, and the impact of share repurchases that differ from our forecasted assumptions. Adjusted net income attributable to UHS/per diluted share is also subject to certain conditions including those as set forth in General Information, Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
(b) Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI is helpful to our investors as a measure of operating performance.
