Entry Multiple: 8.0x – 10.0x
Est. MOIC: 1.9x
Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Small facility (<50 beds) — limited scale
- Low occupancy (<30%) — demand risk
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- Strong commercial payer base protects revenue
- Limited competition supports pricing power
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-18.7%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -40.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-47.0%, 9.6%]. P22 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 954960.867 | -0.0872 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.381 | -0.0516 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Expense/Bed | 1338147.733 | +0.0393 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 2.708 | -0.0387 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.609 | +0.0269 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 21%Low turnaround probability (21%). Structural disadvantages in Revenue/Bed and Reimbursement Quality.
