1. Organization and Summary of Accounting Policies
Organization
Surgery Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acting through its subsidiaries, owns and operates a national network of surgical facilities and ancillary services. The surgical facilities, which include ambulatory surgery centers ("ASCs") and surgical hospitals, primarily provide non-emergency surgical procedures across many specialties, including, among others, gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics and pain management. The Company's surgical hospitals also provide services such as diagnostic imaging, laboratory, obstetrics, oncology, pharmacy, physical therapy and wound care. Ancillary services are comprised of multi-specialty physician practices, urgent care facilities and anesthesia services. Unless the context otherwise indicates, Surgery Partners, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as "Surgery Partners," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company."
As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned or operated a portfolio of 152 surgical facilities, comprised of 134 ASCs and 18 surgical hospitals in 32 states. The Company owns these facilities in partnership with physicians and, in some cases, health care systems in the markets and communities it serves. The Company owned a majority interest in 92 of these surgical facilities and consolidated 119 of these facilities for financial reporting purposes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as interests in partnerships and limited liability companies controlled by the Company through its ownership of a majority voting interest or other rights granted to the Company by contract to manage and control the affiliate's business. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Examples include, but are not limited to, estimates of accounts receivable allowances, professional and general liabilities and the estimate of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenues
The Company's revenues generally relate to contracts with patients in which the performance obligations are to provide health care services. The Company recognizes revenues in the period in which its obligations to provide health care services are satisfied and reports the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance organizations, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by or negotiated with the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services provided to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than the Company's standard charges. The Company continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

Patient service revenues. This revenue is related to charging facility fees in exchange for providing patient care. The fee charged for health care procedures performed in surgical facilities varies depending on the type of service provided, but usually includes all charges for usage of an operating room, a recovery room, special equipment, medical supplies, nursing staff and medications. The fee does not normally include professional fees charged by the patient’s surgeon, anesthesiologist or other attending physician, which are billed directly by such physicians to the patient or third-party payor. However, in several surgical facilities, the Company charges for anesthesia services. Ancillary service revenues include fees for patient visits to the Company's physician practices, pharmacy services and diagnostic tests ordered by physicians.
Patient service revenues are recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are based on the nature of services provided. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time in which services are rendered and the Company has no obligation to provide further patient services. As the Company primarily performs outpatient procedures, performance obligations are generally satisfied same day and revenue is recognized on the date of service.
The Company determines the transaction price based on gross charges for services provided, net of estimated contractual adjustments and discounts from third-party payors. The Company estimates its contractual adjustments and discounts based on contractual agreements, its discount policies and historical experience. Changes in estimated contractual adjustments and discounts are recorded in the period of change.
Other service revenues. Other service revenues include management and administrative service fees derived from the non-consolidated facilities that the Company accounts for under the equity method, management of surgical facilities in which it does not own an interest, and management services provided to physician practices for which the Company is not required to provide capital or additional assets and other non-patient services. The management agreements typically require the Company to provide recurring management services over a multi-year period, which are billed and collected on a monthly basis. The fees derived from these management arrangements are based on a predetermined percentage of the revenues of each facility or practice and are recognized in the period in which management services are rendered and billed.
The following table sets forth patient service revenues by type of payor and as a percentage of total patient service revenues for the Company's consolidated surgical facilities (dollars in millions):

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable from third-party payors are recorded net of estimated implicit price concessions, which are estimated based on the historical trend of the Company's surgical hospitals’ cash collections and contractual write-offs, and for the Company's surgical facilities in general, established fee schedules, relationships with payors and procedure statistics. While changes in estimated reimbursement from third-party payors remain a possibility, the Company expects that any such changes would be minimal and, therefore, would not have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Accounts receivable consists of receivables from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), private insurance organizations, employers and patients. Management recognizes that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to the Company's operations, but it does not believe that there is significant credit risk associated with these government agencies. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other payors is limited because of the large number of such payors.
The Company recognizes that final reimbursement of accounts receivable is subject to final approval by each third-party payor. However, because the Company has contracts with its third-party payors and also verifies insurance coverage of the patient before medical services are rendered, the amounts that are pending approval from third-party payors are not considered significant. Amounts are classified outside of self-pay if the Company has an agreement with the third-party payor or has verified a patient’s coverage prior to services rendered. The Company's policy is to collect co-payments and deductibles prior to providing medical services. Patient services of the Company are primarily non-emergency, which allows the surgical facilities to control the procedures for which third-party reimbursement is sought and obtained. The Company does not require collateral from self-pay patients.
The Company's collection policies and procedures are based on the type of payor, size of claim and estimated collection percentage for each patient account. The Company analyzes accounts receivable at each of its surgical facilities to ensure the proper collection and aged category. Collection efforts include direct contact with third-party payors or patients, written correspondence and the use of legal or collection agency assistance, as required.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If a carryforward exists, the Company makes a determination as to whether the carryforward will be utilized in the future. A valuation allowance is established for certain carryforwards when their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. The carrying value of the net deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If our expectations for future operating results on a consolidated basis or at the state jurisdiction level vary from actual results due to changes in health care regulations, general economic conditions, or other factors, we may need to adjust the valuation allowance, for all or a portion of our deferred tax assets. Our income tax expense in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases, respectively, in our valuation allowance in the period when the change in circumstances occurs. These changes could have a significant impact on our future earnings.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The partnerships, limited liability companies, and certain non-consolidated physician practice corporations also file separate income tax returns. The Company's allocable portion of each partnership's and limited liability company's income or loss is included in taxable income of the Company. The remaining income or loss of each partnership and limited liability company is allocated to the other owners.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company's effective tax rate was (19.0)% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 8.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differed from the federal corporate tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations, and discrete tax benefits of (i) $1.8 million related to the vesting of restricted stock awards, and (ii) $15.9 million related to entity divestitures. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate differed from 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations, and discrete tax benefits of (i) $4.6 million related to the vesting of restricted stock awards, (ii) $1.8 million attributable to non-recurring earnings’ impact on the Company’s valuation allowance, and (iii) $1.0 million related to entity divestitures. Based upon the application of interim accounting guidance, the tax rate as a percentage of net income after income attributable to non-controlling interests will vary based upon the relative net income from period to period.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration provided in an acquisition plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests over the fair value of net assets acquired and is not amortized. Additions to goodwill include amounts resulting from new business combinations and incremental ownership purchases in the Company's subsidiaries. A summary of the Company's acquisitions and disposals for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is included in Note 2. "Acquisitions and Disposals."

A detailed evaluation of potential impairment indicators was performed as of June 30, 2023, which specifically considered recent increases in interest rates, inflation risk and market volatility. On the basis of available evidence as of June 30, 2023, no indicators of impairment were identified. Future estimates of fair value could be adversely affected if the actual outcome of one or more of the Company's assumptions changes materially in the future, including a material decline in the Company’s stock price and the fair value of its long-term debt, lower than expected surgical case volumes, higher market interest rates or increased operating costs. Such changes impacting the calculation of fair value could result in a material impairment charge in the future.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and any financing elements treated as debt instruments are recorded at amortized cost. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Non-Controlling Interests—Redeemable
Each partnership and limited liability company through which the Company owns and operates its surgical facilities is governed by a partnership or operating agreement, respectively. In certain circumstances, the applicable partnership or operating agreements for the Company's surgical facilities provide that the facilities will purchase all of the physician limited partners’ or physician minority members’, as applicable, ownership if certain adverse regulatory events occur, such as it becoming illegal for the physician(s) to own an interest in a surgical facility, refer patients to a surgical facility or receive cash distributions from a surgical facility. The non-controlling interests—redeemable are reported outside of stockholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Medicare Accelerated Payments and Deferred Governmental Grants
The Company received grant funds distributed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and other governmental assistance programs. The recognition of amounts received is conditioned upon attestation with terms and conditions that funds were used for COVID-19 related healthcare expenses or lost revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized grant funds received as a reduction in operating expenses in the amount of none and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized grant funds received as a reduction in operating expenses in the amount of $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. There were no remaining unrecognized grant funds as of June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022 approximately $3 million of unrecognized grant funds received was reflected as a component of other current liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company received accelerated payments under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. The payments received were deferred and included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining deferred accelerated payments was minimal. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately $25 million and $43 million, respectively, was repaid in accordance with the terms of the program. These repayments are included as a component of the change in Medicare accelerated payments and deferred government grants in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company’s accounting policies for relief received under the CARES Act and other governmental assistance programs, including the recognition of grant funds, is unchanged from the policies described in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability. The Company uses fair value measurements based on inputs classified into the following hierarchy:
•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, depending on the nature of the item being valued.
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted invested assets and accounts payable approximate their fair values under Level 3 calculations.
A summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's long-term debt follows (in millions):

Variable Interest Entities
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of variable interest entities ("VIE") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 810, "Consolidation". The Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact a VIE's economic performance. Additionally, the Company would absorb the majority of the expected losses from any of these entities should such expected losses occur. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's consolidated VIEs consisted of seven surgical facilities and five physician practices.
The total assets (excluding goodwill and intangible assets, net) of the consolidated VIEs included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $65.6 million and $64.9 million, respectively, and the total liabilities of the consolidated VIEs were $38.4 million and $40.9 million, respectively.
2. Acquisitions and Disposals
Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2023:
•The Company acquired a controlling interest in a surgical facility and a physician practice for aggregate cash consideration of $17.9 million, net of cash acquired, and non-cash consideration of $1.3 million, which consisted of a non-controlling interest in one of the Company's existing surgical facilities. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company preliminarily recognized non-controlling interests of $12.0 million and goodwill of $27.4 million.
•The Company acquired a controlling interest in two surgical facilities and an in-development de novo surgical facility, which were previously accounted for as equity method investments, for aggregate cash consideration of $26.9 million, net of cash acquired. The Company also amended the operating agreement of a previously non-controlled surgical facility resulting in the Company obtaining a controlling interest in the facility. These transactions resulted in the consolidation of the previously non-consolidated entities. The previously held non-controlling interests were remeasured and recorded at fair value as of the dates of the transactions. The fair value measurement utilizes Level 3 inputs, which includes unobservable data. The acquisition date fair value of the previously held non-controlling interests was $27.3 million. As a result of increasing its ownership interest, the Company recognized a net loss of $7.1 million included in net (gain) loss on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net loss was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the Company's previously held non-controlling interests in the entities and the carrying values immediately prior to the transactions. In connection with the consolidation of these facilities, the Company preliminarily recognized non-controlling interests of $55.2 million and goodwill of $106.3 million.
•The Company acquired non-controlling interests in four surgical facilities and two in-development de novo surgical facilities for aggregate cash consideration of $48.4 million. The non-controlling interests were accounted for as equity method investments and recorded as a component of investments in and advances to affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also paid cash consideration of $20.0 million to acquire management rights from the prior management service provider related to three of the aforementioned surgical facilities. Management rights agreements are accounted for and recorded as a component of intangible assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cash paid to acquire the management rights is presented as a component of other investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022:
•The Company acquired a controlling interest in four surgical facilities, two of which were merged into existing surgical facilities, for aggregate cash consideration of $74.9 million, net of cash acquired, and non-cash consideration of $2.6 million, which consisted of a non-controlling interest in one of the Company's existing surgical facilities. In connection with the acquisitions the Company preliminarily recognized non-controlling interests of $41.5 million and goodwill of $114.4 million.
•The Company acquired non-controlling interests in five surgical facilities and four in-development de novo surgical facilities for aggregate cash consideration of $65.8 million. The non-controlling interests were accounted for as equity method investments and recorded as a component of investments in and advances to affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Disposals
During the six months ended June 30, 2023:
•The Company sold its interests in four surgical facilities for aggregate net cash proceeds of $30.4 million, a portion of which was held in escrow pursuant to the purchase agreements for such transactions. In connection with these transactions, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $26.7 million included in net (gain) loss on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•The Company disposed of its non-controlling interests in a surgical facility and in-development de novo surgical facility, which were previously accounted for as equity method investments, for cash proceeds of $1.5 million. In connection with these transactions, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $13.7 million included in net (gain) loss on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022:
•The Company sold its interests in a surgical facility, which was previously accounted for as an equity method investment, for net cash proceeds of $11.5 million, and recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.4 million included in net (gain) loss on disposals and consolidations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
•The Company contributed its interests in two surgical facilities as non-cash consideration for non-controlling interests in two new separate entities. As a result of these transactions, the Company lost control of the previously controlled surgical facilities but retains a non-controlling interest in each, resulting in the deconsolidation of the previously consolidated entities. The remaining non-controlling interests were accounted for as equity method investments, and initially measured and recorded at fair value as of the dates of the transactions. The fair value measurement utilizes Level 3 inputs, which includes unobservable data, to measure the fair value of the retained non-controlling interests. The fair value determination was based on a combination of multiple valuation methods, which included discounted cash flow and market value approach, which incorporates estimates of future earnings and market valuation multiples for certain guideline companies. The fair value of the investments of $9.8 million was recorded as a component of investments in and advances to affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, based on the valuation, the transactions resulted in a pretax net loss on deconsolidations of $5.6 million, which is included in net (gain) loss on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The net loss was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the Company’s retained interests in the entities and the carrying values of both the tangible and intangible assets of the entities immediately prior to the transactions.

5. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During 2023 and 2022, such derivatives have been used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.
The key terms of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps outstanding are presented below:

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had nine interest rate swaps with a total net notional amount of $1.2 billion. Of the nine interest rate swaps, three are pay-fixed, receive 1-Month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 0.75%) interest rate swaps designated in cash flow hedging relationships with a total notional amount of $1.2 billion and a termination date of March 31, 2025. The remaining six interest rate swaps are undesignated and consist of three pay-fixed, receive 1-Month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 1.00%) interest rate swaps and three pay 1-Month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 1.00%), receive-fixed interest rate swaps with a termination date of November 30, 2023. The pay-floating, receive-fixed swaps are designed to economically offset the undesignated pay-fixed, receive-floating swaps.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had two interest rate caps designated in cash flow hedging relationships with a total notional amount of $164.1 million. The interest rate caps each have a termination date of March 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company partially terminated a previously undesignated portion of one of its interest rate caps. In connection with the termination, the Company received $8.6 million, which is included as a component of operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The pay-fixed, receive floating interest rate swaps did not meet the requirements to be considered derivatives in their entirety as a result of the financing component. Accordingly, the swaps are considered hybrid instruments, consisting of a financing element treated as a debt instrument and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge.
Within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, the financing elements treated as debt instruments described above are carried at amortized cost and the embedded at-market derivatives and the undesignated swaps are recorded at fair value. The cash flows related to the portion treated as debt are classified as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative are classified as operating activities. Cash settlements related to the undesignated swaps will
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
offset and are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated cash flows. Within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, the interest rate caps, including the undesignated portion, are recorded at fair value. The cash flows related to the interest rate caps, including the undesignated portion, are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our interest rate swap agreements, excluding the portion treated as debt, are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are valued using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curve data, which are classified as Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate caps is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The interest rate caps are classified using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election. Amounts reported in accumulated OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $47.4 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

Professional, General, Workers' Compensation and Cyber Liability Risks
The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to patient treatment, employment practices and personal injuries. The Company maintains professional, general, workers' compensation and cyber liability insurance in excess of self-insured retentions through third party commercial insurance carriers. Although management believes the coverage is sufficient for the Company's operations, some claims may potentially exceed the scope of coverage in effect. Plaintiffs in these matters may request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. The Company is not aware of any such proceedings that are reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Total professional, general and workers' compensation claim liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $22.5 million and $20.8 million, respectively. Expected insurance recoveries of $12.7 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are included as a component of other current assets and other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

No insurance recoveries were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Stockholder Litigation
On December 4, 2017, a purported Company stockholder filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Delaware Action"). That action is captioned Witmer v. H.I.G. Capital, L.L.C., et al., C.A. No. 2017-0862. The plaintiff in the Delaware Action asserted claims against (i) certain current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors (together, the "Directors"); (ii) H.I.G. Capital, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "H.I.G."); and (iii) Bain Capital Private Equity, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Bain Capital" and, together with the Directors and H.I.G., the "Defendants"). The parties to the Delaware Action negotiated a final stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Stipulation”), which governs the terms of the settlement of the Delaware Action, and which they filed with the Court of Chancery on November 22, 2021. On February 11, 2022, the Court of Chancery approved the settlement of the Delaware Action as memorialized in the Settlement Stipulation. That decision became final and non-appealable on March 14, 2022. The case is now closed. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company received $32.8 million in March 2022, which was included in litigation settlement in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Executive Overview
As of June 30, 2023, we owned or operated, primarily in partnership with physicians, a portfolio of 152 surgical facilities comprised of 134 ASCs and 18 surgical hospitals across 32 states. We owned a majority interest in 92 of these surgical facilities and consolidated 119 of these facilities for financial reporting purposes.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased 8.5% to $667.6 million from $615.4 million for the second quarter of 2022. Days adjusted same-facility revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased 8.3% from the same period last year, with a 5.8% increase in revenue per case and a 2.3% increase in same-facility cases. Additionally, for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.4% to $100.2 million compared to $86.1 million for the same period last year. For the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s net income attributable to Surgery Partners, Inc. was $18.9 million compared to net loss of $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2022. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures appears below under "Certain Non-GAAP Measures."
We continue to focus on improving our same-facility performance, selectively acquiring established facilities, developing new facilities and other portfolio management initiatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we completed the following:
•We acquired controlling interests in three surgical facilities, an in-development de novo surgical facility, and a physician practice for aggregate cash consideration of $44.8 million, net of cash acquired and non-cash consideration of $1.3 million. Three of the acquired surgical facilities were previously accounted for as equity method investments. The Company also amended the operating agreement of a previously non-controlled surgical facility resulting in the Company obtaining a controlling interest in the facility.
•We acquired non-controlling interests in four surgical facilities and two in-development de novo surgical facility for aggregate cash consideration of $48.4 million. In connection with the acquisition of three of the aforementioned surgical facilities, we paid cash consideration of $20.0 million to acquire management rights.
•We sold our interests in four surgical facilities for aggregate net cash proceeds of $30.4 million, a portion of which will be held in escrow pursuant to the purchase agreements for such transactions.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $177.4 million and $545.9 million of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2023. Operating cash inflows were $52.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $42.1 million in the prior year period. Net operating cash inflows, including operating cash flows less distributions to non-controlling interests, were $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2022.
Revenues
Our revenues consist of patient service revenues and other service revenues. Patient service revenues consist of revenue from our surgical facility services and ancillary services segments. Specifically, patient service revenues include fees for surgical or diagnostic procedures performed at surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, as well as for patient visits to our physician practices, anesthesia services, pharmacy services and diagnostic screens ordered by our physicians. Other service revenues include management and administrative service fees derived from our non-consolidated facilities that we account for under the equity method, management of surgical facilities and physician practices in which we do not own an interest and management services we provide to physician practices for which we are not required to provide capital or additional assets.

Surgical Case Mix
We primarily operate multi-specialty surgical facilities where physicians perform a variety of procedures in various specialties. We believe this diversification helps to protect us from adverse pricing and utilization trends in any individual procedure type and results in greater consistency in our case volume.

Patient service revenues increased 8.3% to $658.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $607.3 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by an 8.3% increase in days adjusted same-facility revenues and acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022. The increase in days adjusted same-facility revenues was attributable to a 5.8% increase in same-facility revenue per case and a 2.3% increase in same-facility case volumes.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues was $513.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $480.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by acquisitions completed since the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues were 76.9% for the 2023 period compared to 78.1% for the 2022 period.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $26.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.7% for the 2023 period and 4.2% for the 2022 period.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $28.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses were 3.7% for the 2023 period compared to 4.5% for the 2022 period.
Transaction and Integration Costs. We incurred $12.0 million of transaction and integration costs for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. The costs for both periods primarily relate to ongoing development initiatives and the integration of acquisitions.
Net (Gain) Loss on Disposals, Consolidations and Deconsolidations. The net gain on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to activity discussed in Note. 2. "Acquisitions and Disposals" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The remaining net loss was attributable to other asset disposals.
Interest Expense, Net. As a percentage of revenues, interest expense, net decreased to 7.1% for the 2023 period compared to 9.2% for the 2022 period. The decrease is attributable to the pay down of certain long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). The income tax benefit was $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was (15.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differed from 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations, and a discrete tax benefit of $16.6 million related to entity divestitures. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate differed from 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests and an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests. As a percentage of revenues, net income attributable to non-controlling interests was 5.8% for the 2023 period and 5.5% for the 2022 period.

Patient service revenues increased 10.0% to $1,314.4 million for the 2023 period compared to $1,195.0 million for the 2022 period. The increase was driven by an 9.3% increase in days adjusted same-facility revenues and acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2022. The increase in days adjusted same-facility revenues was attributable to a 5.2% increase in same-facility revenue per case and a 3.9% increase in same-facility case volumes.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues was $1,045.7 million for the 2023 period compared to $952.2 million for the 2022 period. The increase was primarily driven by acquisitions completed since the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues were 78.4% for the 2023 period and 78.6% for the 2022 period.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $63.2 million for the 2023 period compared to $55.6 million for the 2022 period. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.7% for the 2023 period and 4.6% for the 2022 period.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $58.1 million for the 2023 period compared to $55.4 million for the 2022 period. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses were 4.4% for the 2023 period compared to 4.6% for the 2022 period.
Transaction and Integration Costs. We incurred $24.5 million of transaction and integration costs for the 2023 period compared to $15.3 million for the 2022 period. The costs for both periods primarily relate to ongoing development initiatives and the integration of acquisitions.
Net Loss (Gain) on Disposals, Consolidations and Deconsolidations. The net loss on disposals, consolidations and deconsolidations in the 2023 period was primarily attributable to activity discussed in Note. 2. "Acquisitions and Disposals" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The remaining net loss was attributable to other asset disposals.
Litigation Settlements. Litigation settlements in the 2022 period was primarily attributable to the resolution of the stockholder litigation matter, as discussed in Note 8. "Commitments and Contingencies" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Interest Expense, Net. As a percentage of revenues, interest expense, net decreased to 7.1% for the 2023 period compared to 9.3% for the 2022 period. The decrease is attributable to the pay down of certain long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). The income tax benefit was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was (19.0)% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 8.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differed from 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations, and discrete tax benefits of (i) $1.8 million related to the vesting of restricted stock awards, and (ii) $15.9 million related to entity divestitures. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate differed from 21% primarily due to earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance attributable to interest expense limitations, and discrete tax benefits of (i) $4.6 million related to the vesting of restricted stock awards, (ii) $1.8 million attributable to non-recurring earnings’ impact on the Company’s valuation allowance, and (iii) $1.0 million related to entity divestitures. Based upon the application of interim accounting guidance, the tax rate as a percentage of net income after income attributable to non-controlling interests will vary based upon the relative net income from period to period.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests. As a percentage of revenues, net income attributable to non-controlling interests was 4.9% for the 2023 period and 5.3% for the 2022 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $177.4 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $282.9 million at December 31, 2022.
The primary source of our operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), private insurance companies and individuals. Our cash flows provided by operating activities was $126.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $121.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $4.7 million increase was primarily driven by operating cash flows in the first quarter of 2022 that did not repeat in the current year, including repayments of $40.2 million of Medicare advanced payments provided through the CARES Act, partially offset by the receipt of stockholder litigation proceeds of $32.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $141.9 million compared to $181.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Key factors contributing to the change include:
•An aggregate decrease in payments for acquisitions (net of cash acquired) and purchases of equity method investments of $48.8 million;
•An aggregate increase of $14.6 million in proceeds from sales of facilities and equity method investments;
•An increase in purchases of property and equipment of $9.5 million;
•An increase in cash used of $14.4 million related to other investing activities, including $20.0 million to acquire management rights related to certain acquisitions in the 2023 period.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $90.2 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $103.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Key factors contributing to the change include:
• An increase of $14.1 million in borrowings of long-term debt;
•A decrease in payments related to ownership transactions with non-controlling interest holders of $4.6 million, partially offset by an increase in distributions to non-controlling interest holders of $1.7 million;
•An increase in cash used of $4.6 million related to other financing activities.
Capital Resources
Net working capital was approximately $351.6 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $427.6 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in cash, as discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities.
In addition to cash flows from operations and available cash, other sources of capital include amounts available on our Revolver as well as anticipated continued access to the capital markets.
There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our upcoming cash obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from those disclosed under “Material Cash Requirements” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Summary
Broad economic factors, including recent increases in interest rates, inflation and supply chain risks and market volatility, could negatively affect our payor mix, increase the relative proportion of lower margin services we provide and reduce patient volumes, as well as diminish our ability to collect outstanding receivables. Any increase in the amount or deterioration in the collectability of patient accounts receivable will adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations, requiring an increased level of working capital.
If general economic conditions continue to deteriorate or remain uncertain for an extended period of time, our ability to access capital could be harmed, which could negatively affect our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt.
Based on our current level of operations, we believe cash flows from operations, available cash, available capacity on our Revolver and continued anticipated access to capital markets, will be adequate to meet our short-term (i.e., 12 months) and long-term (beyond 12 months) liquidity needs.
Certain Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding grant funds are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from these non-GAAP metrics are significant components in understanding and evaluating our financial performance. We believe such adjustments are appropriate, as the magnitude and frequency of such items can vary significantly and are not related to the assessment of normal operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding grant funds may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding grant funds as measures of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding grant funds are key measures used by our management to assess operating performance, make business decisions and allocate resources.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding grant funds to (loss) income before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (in millions and unaudited):

We use Credit Agreement EBITDA as a measure of liquidity and to determine our compliance under certain covenants pursuant to our credit facilities. Credit Agreement EBITDA is determined on a trailing twelve-month basis. We have included it because we believe that it provides investors with additional information about our ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. Credit Agreement EBITDA is not a measurement of liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from Credit Agreement EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating our liquidity. Our calculation of Credit Agreement EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
When we use the term “Credit Agreement EBITDA,” we are referring to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, further adjusted for acquisitions and synergies. These adjustments do not relate to our historical financial performance and instead relate to estimates compiled by our management and calculated in conformance with the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” used in the credit agreements governing our credit facilities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk primarily from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing and cash management activities. We utilize a balanced mix of maturities along with both fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage our exposures to changes in interest rates. Additionally, we periodically enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Our interest rate swap and cap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on common notional principal amounts and maturity dates. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap and cap
agreements represent balances used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not our assets or liabilities. Our credit risk related to these agreements is considered low because the interest rate swap and cap agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. The interest payments under these agreements are settled on a net basis. These derivatives have been recognized in the financial statements at their respective fair values. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are included in other comprehensive income.
Our variable rate debt instruments are primarily indexed to the prime rate or SOFR. Without derivatives, interest rate changes would result in gains or losses in the market value of our fixed rate debt portfolio due to differences in market interest rates and the rates at the inception of the debt agreements. Based on our indebtedness and the effectiveness of our interest rate swap and cap agreements at June 30, 2023, we do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on our net earnings or cash flows in 2023.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits, or threats of claims or suits, relating to our business, including claims for damages for personal injuries, breach of management contracts and employment related claims. In certain of these actions, plaintiffs request payment for damages, including punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance or may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. In the opinion of management, we are not currently a party to any proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
