Raises Full Year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook Range
Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: MD), a leading provider of physician services, today reported earnings of $0.84 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.67.
For the 2025 third quarter, Pediatrix reported the following results:
- Net revenue of $493 million;
- Net income of $72 million; and
- Adjusted EBITDA of $87 million.
“Our operating results for the third quarter exceeded our expectations and were driven by a combination of reimbursement-related factors, including strong collection activity, higher patient acuity and slightly favorable payor mix, as well as operational consistency,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of Pediatrix Medical Group. “We now expect our full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA will likely range between $270 million and $290 million. We are of course pleased with our results, and the strength it provides to Pediatrix and our stakeholders, but know that they come at a time of change and uncertainty in the healthcare environment.”
Operating Results– Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
Pediatrix’s net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $492.9 million, compared to $511.2 million for the prior-year period. This decrease reflects the impact of non-same unit activity, primarily practice dispositions, partially offset by growth in same-unit net revenue of 8.0 percent.
Same-unit revenue from net reimbursement-related factors increased by 7.6 percent for the 2025 third quarter as compared to the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects continued improvements in collection activity, higher patient acuity in the Company’s hospital-based practices, primarily in neonatology, increases in administrative fees from hospital partners and a slightly favorable shift in payor mix.
Same-unit revenue attributable to patient service volumes increased by 0.4 percent for the 2025 third 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 third quarter, practice salaries and benefits expense was $332.3 million, compared to $364.9 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 incentive compensation based on practice results.
For the 2025 third quarter, general and administrative expenses were $60.8 million, as compared to $58.1 million for the prior-year period. This increase primarily reflects increases in incentive compensation based on financial results.
For the 2025 third quarter, transformational and restructuring related expenses totaled $6.0 million, as compared to $18.6 million for the prior-year period. The expenses during the third quarter of 2025 primarily related to position eliminations and, to a lesser extent, revenue cycle management transition activities. The expenses during the third quarter of 2024 primarily related to revenue cycle management transition activities, position eliminations, and impairment of various right-of-use lease assets resulting from practice dispositions.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transformational and restructuring related expenses, and net gain on investments in divested businesses, was $87.3 million for the 2025 third quarter, compared to $60.2 million for the prior-year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to net favorable impacts from same-unit results and practice disposition activity.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $6.3 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 $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, reflecting slightly lower interest rates on slightly lower average outstanding borrowings.
Investment and other income was $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. The net increase was primarily related to increases in interest income on higher cash balances.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a net gain on investments in divested businesses of $20.9 million.
Pediatrix generated net income of $71.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the 2025 third quarter, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 85.6 million. This compares with $19.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the 2024 third quarter, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 84.5 million.
For the third quarter of 2025, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $0.67, compared to $0.44 for the third quarter of 2024. For these periods, Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net income per common and common equivalent share adjusted for non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, transformational and restructuring related expenses, net gain on investments in divested businesses, and impacts from discrete tax events.
Operating Results – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Pediatrix generated revenue of $1.42 billion, compared to $1.51 billion for the prior-year period. Pediatrix generated net income of $131.7 million, or $1.54 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 85.6 million, which compares to a net loss of $129.5 million, or $1.56 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 83.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $209.7 million, compared to $155.3 million for the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Pediatrix reported Adjusted EPS of $1.54, compared to $0.99 for the same period of 2024.
Financial Position and Cash Flow – Continuing Operations
Pediatrix had cash and cash equivalents of $340.1 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $229.9 million at December 31, 2024, and net accounts receivable were $231.1 million.
For the third quarter of 2025, Pediatrix generated cash from operating activities from continuing operations of $138.1 million, compared to $95.7 million during the third quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company used $20.9 million to fund share repurchases, $19.2 million to fund acquisition activity, and $5.3 million to fund capital expenditures.
At September 30, 2025, Pediatrix had total debt outstanding of $602 million, consisting of its $400 million in 5.375% Senior Notes due 2030 and $202 million in borrowings under its Term A Loan.
