Entry Multiple: 8.0x – 10.0x
Est. MOIC: 1.9x
Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- RCM optimization could add 3-5pp margin
- Strong commercial payer base protects revenue
- Limited competition supports pricing power
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-6.7%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -5.2%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-35.0%, 21.6%]. P45 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.076 | +0.0359 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.820 | +0.0336 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 337.000 | -0.0294 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.120 | -0.0278 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1444967.386 | -0.0187 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 38%Turnaround possible (38%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Reimbursement Quality.
