Pediatrix Medical Group Reports Fourth Quarter Results

Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: MD), a leading provider of physician services, today reported earnings of $0.40 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.50.

For the 2025 fourth quarter, Pediatrix reported the following results:

  • Net revenue of $494 million;
  • Net income of $34 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $66 million.

“Our fourth quarter operating results were in line with our revised upward expectations and reflected solid same-unit revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in variable practice incentive compensation,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of Pediatrix Medical Group. “Our performance in the fourth quarter caps a terrific year, and while facing healthcare industry headwinds, we are doing all we can to have another strong year at Pediatrix and to position ourselves for a strong future.”

Operating Results– Three Months Ended December 31, 2025

Pediatrix’s net revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $493.8 million, compared to $502.4 million for the prior-year period. This decrease reflects the impact of non-same unit activity, primarily from practice dispositions, partially offset by growth in same-unit net revenue of 4.0 percent.

Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors increased by 6.7 percent for the 2025 fourth quarter as compared to the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects continued improvements in collection activity, a favorable shift in payor mix, higher patient acuity in the Company’s hospital-based practices, primarily in neonatology, and increases in administrative fees from hospital partners.

Same-unit revenue attributable to patient service volumes decreased by 2.7 percent for the 2025 fourth quarter as compared to the prior-year period. Shown below are year-over-year percentage changes in certain same-unit volume statistics for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. (Note: figures in the below table reflect contributions only to net patient service revenue and exclude other contributions to total same-unit revenue, including contract and administrative fees.)

For the 2025 fourth quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $348.0 million, compared to $349.0 million for the prior-year period. This decrease primarily reflects the impact of practice disposition activity, partially offset by increases in same-unit clinical compensation costs, including variable incentive compensation.

For the 2025 fourth quarter, general and administrative expenses were $65.7 million, as compared to $63.6 million for the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects net increases in salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation expense as compared to the prior-year period.

For the 2025 fourth quarter, transformational and restructuring related expenses totaled $5.9 million, as compared to $23.6 million for the prior-year period. The expenses during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily related to revenue cycle management transition activities and, to a lesser extent, position eliminations. The expenses during the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily related to practice dispositions, revenue cycle management transition activities and position eliminations.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transformational and restructuring related expenses, adjustments to goodwill impairment and gain on disposal of businesses, as relevant, was $65.8 million for the 2025 fourth quarter, compared to $68.7 million for the prior-year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher same-unit expense, primarily related to higher variable practice incentive compensation expense, partially offset by the favorable impact from practice disposition activity.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $6.9 million for the prior-year period. The net decrease was primarily related to a lower level of capital expenditures at our existing units.

Interest expense was $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $9.7 million for the prior-year period, reflecting slightly lower interest rates on slightly lower average outstanding borrowings.

Investment and other income was $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $2.8 million for the prior-year period. The net increase was primarily related to increases in interest income on higher cash balances.

Pediatrix generated net income of $33.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the 2025 fourth quarter, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 84.4 million. This compares with $30.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the 2024 fourth quarter, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 85.2 million. The decrease in weighted average shares was primarily driven by the share repurchase activity conducted during 2025.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.50, compared to $0.51 for the fourth quarter of 2024. For these periods, Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted income per common and common equivalent share adjusted for non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, transformational and restructuring related expenses, gain on disposal of businesses, and related adjustments to goodwill impairment and discrete tax events.

Operating Results – Year Ended December 31, 2025

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Pediatrix generated revenue of $1.91 billion, compared to $2.01 billion for the prior-year period. Pediatrix generated net income of $165.4 million, or $1.94 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 85.3 million, which compares to a net loss of $99.1 million, or $1.19 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 83.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $275.6 million, compared to $224.0 million for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $2.04, compared to $1.51 for the same period of 2024.

Financial Position and Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

Pediatrix had cash and cash equivalents of $375.2 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $229.9 million at December 31, 2024, and net accounts receivable were $229.7 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Pediatrix generated cash from operating activities from continuing operations of $114.6 million, compared to $134.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company used $64.0 million to fund share repurchases, $5.3 million to fund capital expenditures and $4.0 million to fund acquisition activity.

At December 31, 2025, Pediatrix had total debt outstanding of $597 million, consisting of its $400 million in 5.375% Senior Notes due 2030 and $197 million in borrowings under its Term A Loan. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $450 million revolving line of credit.

Preliminary 2026 Outlook
