Entry Multiple: 8.0x – 10.0x
Est. MOIC: 1.9x
Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Heavy Medicare dependence (>55%)
- Small facility (<50 beds) — limited scale
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- Limited competition supports pricing power
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-8.2%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -27.5%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-36.5%, 20.1%]. P42 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 423997.489 | -0.1613 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 540415.766 | +0.1376 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 152841.765 | -0.0239 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.544 | +0.0197 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.134 | +0.0194 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m |
Turnaround: 36%Turnaround possible (36%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
