Sentiment Analysis
Surgery Partners, Inc. (“Surgery Partners” or the “Company”), a leading short-stay surgical facility owner and operator, today announced it, along with its existing partner Intermountain Health, has placed into escrow signature pages to definitive agreements, pursuant to which Surgery Partners would sell its ownership interests in Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital to Intermountain Health. Physician ownership of Mountain View Hospital will remain unchanged. The transaction values the combined Idaho Falls facilities at approximately $1.15 billion. Total consideration to Surgery Partners is approximately $795 million. The Company expects to receive substantial cash proceeds upon closing, with the final amount subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including adjustments for indebtedness, working capital, transaction expenses and other closing items. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of final net cash proceeds at this time. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the execution of binding Securities Purchase Agreements between the Company and Intermountain Health following requisite Mountain View Hospital physician member and physician governing board approvals. Unless and until these approvals are obtained, there is no assurance regarding the completion of the transaction. In addition, the closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, obtaining any other applicable material regulatory approvals, and obtaining certain material third-party consents. The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject to the forgoing approvals. “For Surgery Partners, assuming physician partner approval, this transaction represents the largest step forward in our portfolio optimization strategy to date, simplifying our go forward operations, and positioning us to accelerate momentum in the rapidly growing, high-value ambulatory surgery center space,” said Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Surgery Partners. “While our Idaho Falls partnerships have been a large and successful part of our Company’s growth story, these unique facilities are best positioned for their next chapter of growth with an outstanding regional health system like Intermountain. Once complete, this will further sharpen our strategic focus and help support long-term shareholder value. We are confident that Intermountain Health is the best natural owner to continue to advance the mission that Mountain View physician partners started well over two decades ago and to build on their strong legacy of exceptional patient care.” The Company’s previously issued guidance does not reflect the anticipated impact of this transaction. Excluding the impact of this transaction, the Company reaffirms its outlook for 2026 revenues to be in the range of $3.35 billion to $3.45 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of at least $530 million. The Company intends to provide further details regarding the expected financial impact of the transaction on its 2026 financial outlook at the appropriate time, subject to the completion of the transaction. Surgery Partners will release its second quarter 2026 results before the market opens on Monday, August 10, 2026, to be followed by a conference call at 8:30 a.m. (Ea.
