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
- Volume growth opportunity from low occupancy
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-11.6%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -48.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-39.9%, 16.7%]. P34 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 1174512.904 | -0.0565 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.041 | +0.0463 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.051 | -0.0356 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 501052.116 | -0.0123 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Occupancy × Net-to-Gross | 0.022 | -0.0123 | Lower Occupancy × Net-to-Gross decreases predicted |
Turnaround: 31%Turnaround possible (31%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
