Entry Multiple: 6.0x – 8.5x
Est. MOIC: 1.5x
Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Heavy Medicare dependence (>55%)
- Small facility (<50 beds) — limited scale
- Low occupancy (<30%) — demand risk
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- Limited competition supports pricing power
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-11.4%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -21.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-39.7%, 16.9%]. P34 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 713405.000 | -0.1209 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 863827.688 | +0.0977 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.770 | +0.0450 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 2.773 | -0.0372 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 174075.706 | -0.0232 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma |
Turnaround: 31%Turnaround possible (31%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
