11 Outpatient provides compelling investment opportunities and synergies with Tenet s existing business External sector-based factors Internal Tenet-specific factors 1 Outpatient service lines are attractive as standalone businesses Highly profitable, with high EBITDA margins Less capital intensive than the hospital business & generate strong FCF Not yet consolidated; therefore, attractive acquisition opportunities may exist in this space 2 Tenet is a natural owner for these businesses and can unlock substantial value in these service lines Hospital business provides long-term managed care contracting relationships Expanded in-market footprint may present opportunities to coordinate care between hospitals and OP facilities Clinical quality expertise would prepare for increased CMS quality reporting requirements and pay-forperformance reimbursement structures in outpatient service lines 3 Outpatient services offer tremendous growth potential as high historic growth rates accelerate as a result of health reform and other industry trends While IP admissions have remained flat over the last twenty years, OP visits have grown dramatically Payors, physicians and patients increasingly prefer OP settings over hospital setting Payors prefer care provided with comparable quality at a lower cost Physicians prefer higher efficiency, as well as opportunity for equity participation in some instances Patients prefer improved experience (e.g., retail feel, patient convenience) as well as lower cost
